How to extract days in given format

Hi,

 

If I have the field Birth date like the below-given format and I need to extract days in different columns of PB how do we do? 

Please Help 

 

 

  • Hi Navnit - 

     

     

    Suppose, if Dateof Birth is in date format datatype, you can use 

    Below calculated column to find the day name and for Number below one.

    Name of the Day = FORMAT(DateTable[Date],"dddd")
     
    for number format:
    DayN = DAY(DateTable[Date])
     
    check it and it works

  • Hi Navnit 
    You can, from PQ transform the column to the Date data type:

    From this stage you can extract any aliment of date that you need
