Hi,

 

Try this calculated column formula

 

=INT('Date'[Date])

 

Format this column as Date.

    Hi Ashish & all experts here,

     

    Thanks for all your advice, i guess i have to check on the source of my 'Date' [Date] table column, because in the formula, it has the red underlined.

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Please check what data type of your Date column firstly.

       

      If your Date column is Date/Time type in Power BI, you only need to change the Data format to be M/d/yyyy under Modeling.

       

       

      If your Date column is Text type in Power BI, you could create the measure with the fomula below.

       

      Measure 2 = LEFT(MAX('Table2'[Date]),9)

      Here is the result.

       

       

      Best Regards,

      Cherry

        v-piga-msft I don't have access for modelling the SQL database.

         

        The measure looks legit, I will try on it. Thank you :)
