Dear All,

 

I am trying to create a new column with Month and Year in MMM-YYYY format from another date column. I tried the below expression for the new column, but getting the error as in the below screenshot. Kindly help.

 

MonthYr = CONCATENATE(FORMAT(MONTH(Query2[DEP_DATE]),"MMM"),YEAR(Query2[DEP_DATE]))
