Date and KPI Visual

Hi,

I have create a simple datatset for my scenario. Below is what I have tried:
1. Extracted Month and Year from Date column in date data type

2. Sorted the month column based on Month No 
3. Created a measure called Total Amount

 

My question are:
1. How can I convert the Month and Year columns into date data type instead of text and whole number data type?
2. The KPI visual unable to display the latest month from the dataset if I selected Month column in the Trend Axis field. However, no issue if I selected Date column. I want to display Month data instead of the full date in dd/mm/yyyy.

Here is the PBIX file for testing:

Thanks for your kind advise.

  • Hii alvin1999,

    Try this,

    Using the date column to create a date group in this group, you can change the format to "yyyy" and then it will show only the year in the date datatype. in the same way you used in the month also.

    Here is the output file

  • alvin1999In my reply post, I share one pbix file. In that file, there are two columns, like year and month, in the below image. Go and see how that will be modified.
