    Hi Sudhavi_84 ,

     

    Yes, the code I gave was for a new column in Power Query, as DAX calculated columns are not generally recommended.

    If you really need to do it in DAX, then the column formula would be:

    ..yearMonthSortKey = YEAR(yourTable[Date]) * 100 + MONTH(yourTable[Date])

Is this something we need to write in Power Query (M Editor)? Not in new calculated column?
