Custom Quarter Column

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a custom column with the below requirements:

 

1) If the Month has more than 30 days, then the quarter should be the same until the next Sunday date

2) Else return the next quarter 

 

This is an example of what I have now

Hi, @Brite ;

You add custom in powerbi query.

[date]-#duration(1,0,0,0)
= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Start of Week", each Date.StartOfWeek([Custom])+#duration(1,0,0,0))
= Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Start of Week", "Quarter1", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Start of Week]), Int64.Type)
= Table.RemoveColumns(#"Inserted Quarter",{"Custom", "Start of Week"})

M lanuage:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fc1BCoAwDETRq0jWlTSTaL1G16X3v0atiCAkXWQRHsxvjcAnIwMbJZL7quzzpZ6miT7oGvLCSmT69lyKc7rI6SJnHE4ayzc5r+JnJTZYZAdLTJdLfQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"W/E Company" = _t, num = _t, Quarter = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"W/E Company", type date}, {"num", Int64.Type}, {"Quarter", type text}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"W/E Company", "date"}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Renamed Columns", "Custom", each [date]-#duration(1,0,0,0)),
    #"Inserted Start of Week" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Start of Week", each Date.StartOfWeek([Custom])+#duration(1,0,0,0)),
    #"Inserted Quarter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Start of Week", "Quarter1", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Start of Week]), Int64.Type),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Inserted Quarter",{"Custom", "Start of Week"})
in
    #"Removed Columns1"

The final show:
