    Here's my solution:

     

    1. Duplicate Date Column

    2. Split Column by Delimiter (however your date is formated, I split by each occurrence of /)

    3. Delete the column with the days, since the months are the only thing that I'm concerned about 

    4. Exit Query Editor 

    5. Right click on the table that you are interested in, choose 'New Column')

    6. Essentially you create a measure that says if the month is between x and y then produce the year, if not, produce year-1. Here's mine for fiscal year July x+1 through June x: 

     

    Fiscal Year = IF('Transactions FY11 to FY18'[Date Month]<7,'Transactions FY11 to FY18'[Date Year], 'Transactions FY11 to FY18'[Date Year]-1)

     

    Hope this helps!
