Day number to date
In my data table there is a column which contains dates of every weekend (every Friday, eg: 26 Aug 2022, 02 Sep 2022), another column containing only day number (eg: 22,23,24 ; 29,30,1,2). How do I convert this day column which is in text format into DDMMYYYY date format.
Requesting the experts to kindly help me out from this situation.
Ok, I see what you mean. Try this (I'm assuming that the week date is the end of the week):
New date = VAR _DayInt = VALUE ( 'Table'[Day] ) VAR _DayDate = DATE ( YEAR ( 'Table'[Week] ), MONTH ( 'Table'[Week] ), _DayInt ) RETURN IF ( _DayDate > 'Table'[Week], DATE ( YEAR ( 'Table'[Week] ), MONTH ( 'Table'[Week] ) - 1, _DayInt ), _DayDate )Please confirm that the highlighted rows are the expected result.

If you wish to assign the same month and year as the Week field, try:
New date = DATE ( YEAR ( Table[Week] ), MONTH ( Table[Week] ), VALUE ( Table[Day] ) )Well, this doesn't solve my issue as the day numbers against the last week of August (eg: 29,30,...) are being shown as last week of September (29-09-2022) instead of that of August(29-08-2022). Is there any other way?
