Date formating

Hello

 

I have data table with Date column in format "20200831" <- today.
I created a Date hierarchy table but I need to add a measure so it would show the date in the same way as in my Date column in data table so I could make a relationship between them.

you can create a column in date table and join it with your data table.

 

DtKey = FORMAT('Table'[Dt],"YYYYMMDD")

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to add calculated column: 

Date Formatted = Format('Table (2)'[Date], "YYYYMMDD")

@Anonymous , you can create this format in date using

 

Day key = format([Date],"YYYYMMDD")

Day key = year([Date])*10000 + month([Date])*100 +day([Date])

 

Or you can create date from this format

 

date = date(left([Day key],4) , mid([Day key],5,2), right([Day key],2))
