Date to YYYYMM format with DirectQuery
Hi, I have a Date column (dd-mm-yyyy) that I would like to transform into yyyymm. My table is connected via DirectQuery. I used the following m-query for the transformation:
Number.ToText(Date.Year([Date]))&Number.ToText(Date.Month([Date]))
However I am missing the '0' in front of the single months. Any ideas on how this can be resolved?
Thank you!
You can use Date.ToText to create a custom column like this:
Date.ToText([Date], [Format="yyyyMM"]))This doesn't work with DirectQuery though.
For DirectQuery, try this:
100 * Date.Year([Date]) + Date.Month([Date])You can either keep this as an integer or convert it to text.
