Extract Value

You have a CSV File that contains user complaints. The File contains a column named Logged. Logged contains the date and time each compliant

occurred. The data in Logged is in the following format: 2018-12-31 at 08:59.

You need to be able to analyze the complaints by the logged date and use a built-in date hierarchy.

What should you do?

 

A. Apply a transform to extract first 11 characters of the logged column.

B.  Create colum by example that start with 2018-12-31 and set the data type to new column to date .

@irshadanwar09 , In Power Query a new column

 

Date = DateTime.Date([Date Logged])

 

 

in Dax

 

Date = Datevalue([Date Logged])

 

And use that column. Prefer to use date table joined to this date with all required columns 


To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
