Hi ,
I need a help to convert date column into month but in date folrmat itself.
I have used format([date],"MMM") option but it gives me result in text format which doesnot let me sort data based on month in visualization.
Is there any way to convert date column in MM-YY in date format itself?
Solved! Go to Solution.
