DATE error

Can someone suggest as to what I am doing wrong when creating calculated column? I am adding this formula 

 

= DATE(2023,1,1)  

 

but I am receiving this error.

The link you had is DAX expression syntax.

 

whay you are trying to do is in M Query, which the syntax is

Hi @stribor45 ,

 

Missing # and lower cases

 

 

#date(2023,1,1)

 

 

that worked but I don't think that was mentioned Date . Why do you need  #?
