How to remove a specific date from a date column
Hello,
I have a calculated date column with date+time values. I changed the data type to short date so the time component is no longer there.
I would like to create a new column that contains the same values as the original column, but with all records that have the value 05/29/2021 to be replaced with blanks. I’m having trouble figuring out how to do this.
Currently, I’m using the following dax:
new date column = IF(DimLeads[Date] = date(2021,05,29), BLANK(), DimLeads[Date])
The current result is a new column that contains the date+time values, including for 5/29/2021, even though I changed the data time in the original column to be short date.
Can anyone explain how to write dax to do this?
Thank you!
Pete
Hi, petelanglois
I tried to use your if function to achieve the result you want.
Column = IF ( DimLeads[Date] = DATE ( 2021, 05, 29 ), BLANK (), DimLeads[Date] )Is the expected result you want like this? If not, please reply with more details. Thank you.

Hi petelanglois
Apologies mate, had to adjust previous. This is what you're after 🙂
Column =
VAR _DateBlank = DATE ( 2021 , 5 , 29 )
VAR _DateColumn = 'Calendar'[Date]
RETURN
IF ( _DateBlank = _DateColumn , BLANK() , _DateColumn )Please adjust the table to relevant table and column name. Outputs below:All the best
