Hi Experts...
I cannot work out how to reslove the following error message.
My capture_day_id is in the format 2020101 and not 01/01/20
My expiration_day_id is in the format 2020101 and not 01/01/20
I am trying to work out the duration in days between the two dates.
List.Dates(
Date.FromText([capture_day_id]),
Duration.Days(
#date(Number.FromText(Text.Start([capture_day_id],4)), Number.FromText(Text.Middle([capture_day_id],4,2)),Number.FromText(Text.End([capture_day_id],2)))
,
#date(Number.FromText(Text.Start([expiration_day_id],4)), Number.FromText(Text.Middle([expiration_day_id],4,2)),Number.FromText(Text.End([expiration_day_id],2)))
),
#duration(1, 0, 0, 0))
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Invesco , try Date.FromText([capture_day_id])
refer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/date-fromtext
@Invesco , try Date.FromText([capture_day_id])
refer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/date-fromtext
Same error message
@Invesco , Yes, I also checked out. if only MM can be 1,2, 3 etc then we can do like
if then Text.Length(Text.Length) = 7 then #date(Number.FromText(Text.Start([capture_day_id],4)), Number.FromText(Text.Middle([capture_day_id],4,1)),Number.FromText(Text.End([capture_day_id],2)))
else #date(Number.FromText(Text.Start([capture_day_id],4)), Number.FromText(Text.Middle([capture_day_id],4,2)),Number.FromText(Text.End([capture_day_id],2)))
Slightly confused - can you add the full formula PLEASE. Thanks
