To get a decade bucket first extract a Year column from date column. Change the data type of the Year column from date to text.

Then create this custom column.

 

 

Decade bucket = 
var yearlastdigit = RIGHT ( Decade[Year], 1 )
return
IF (
    yearlastdigit = "0",
    IF (
        YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) < 2000,
        "19"
            & INT (
                ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) - 1900 )
                    / 10
            )
            & "0"
            & " - "
            & (
                CEILING ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) / 10, 1 )
                    * 10
                    + 10
            )
                - 1,
        "20"
            & INT (
                ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) - 2000 )
                    / 10
            )
            & "0"
            & " - "
            & (
                CEILING ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) / 10, 1 )
                    * 10
                    + 10
            )
                - 1
    ),
    IF (
        YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) < 2000,
        "19"
            & INT (
                ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) - 1900 )
                    / 10
            )
            & "0"
            & " - "
            & (
                CEILING ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) / 10, 1 )
                    * 10
            )
                - 1,
        "20"
            & INT (
                ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) - 2000 )
                    / 10
            )
            & "0"
            & " - "
            & (
                CEILING ( YEAR ( Decade[Date] ) / 10, 1 )
                    * 10
            )
                - 1
    )
)

 

You will get the output like this.

 

 

Now you can drill down from Decade bucket to year value.
