Help with M expression - Create custom column based on Date
Hi,
I need help writing an M expression for a custom column in Power Query.
I have a column with dates called "Initial Date". Depending on the quarter in which the date falls I want to create a new custom column "Desired Date" that gives the first day of the next quarter. Quarters are running from Jan-Mar etc. In the example below 2022-01-01 should return 2022-04-01 and 2022-05-03 should return 2022-07-01.
Thank you!
Anders_G , Try one of the two in power query as a new column
Date.AddQuarters([Column],1)Date.StartOfQuarter(Date.AddQuarters([Column],1))
