What kind of error are you getting?
There's nothing wrong with this DAX formula (it should work with or without the quotes "0", "1" or 0, 1)

Hope this helps.
Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for...
Financial Year = if [Date] = null then null else (if Date.Month([Date]) < 4 then 0 else 1) + Date.Year([Date])
Good Luck! :smileyhappy:
Otherwise I suspect MarcelBeug may have something to say! :smileyhappy:

Date.Year(Date.AddMonths([Date],9))
No need to test for null, if [Date] is null then the result will be null.
