Helper IDate Change from DD-MM-YYYY
I have one data source giving me trouble because it is DD-MM-YYYY formatted. When I change the data from text to date, Power BI is not consistent with numbers in the day or month column below 12. I need to have the month data accurate so I can define a Fiscal year starting in May using the syntax below.
Can anyone help ensure my date can transfer the month data accurately?
Fiscal Year = IF(MONTH('NC Reg''n'[Current Registration Status Date])>4,YEAR('NC Reg''n'[Current Registration Status Date])+1,YEAR('NC Reg''n'[Current Registration Status Date]))
Thanks,
Val
Thank you very much. My data is a little messed up right now after trying a few ways. I'll try your suggestion and let you know how it goes in the next few days.
Thanks so much for your time and advice.

Thanks but it didn't change anything.
Should I use some sort of Table? I really don't care for the exact day but I do want the month and year to be accurate.
Any other suggestions?

Try create a column like
new date =
mid(DD__MM__YY[Date],4,2) &"/"& left(DD__MM__YY[Date],2) & "/" & right(DD__MM__YY[Date],4)join it with date tableTo get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s.
