YEAR function

[waleed111]

YEAR function generate wrong values:

Year A = Year('All Manufacturings (4)'[Added Time])

it gave me 1905 for all values, what is the problem?

@waleed111 , Was it the date time column having only time added with some days. or was it the duration column.  Power does add date to the time column. because of that, you might get that.

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?

Hello @waleed111 ,

Based on the sample data, how did you create this [Time Added] column? Basically the Year() function will return the corresponding year of the column value and works well in my environment if the column is using formula or quote directly.

Maybe you can also try using .year to check:

Column 3 = 'Calendar'[Date]. [Year]

In addition, if you use the format() function to get the year value, it will be displayed as the default text type and can only be converted to the sunch number type as integer, decimal number, and so on, the date type is not allowed.

Like this:

Column 4 = CONVERT(FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"YYYY"),DOUBLE)
Column 4 = CONVERT(FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"YYYY"),INTEGER)

It must be Data Type issue in the Add Column . Have you checked the DAta type OR

Try using Format([Date],"YYYY") and let me know whethe you are able to get the Year

[waleed111]

now FORMAT function work but it show me this error:

Cannot convert value '2020' of type Text to type Date.

Year can be Text . Any  Specific purpose you want that to be as number.

For Example if you want to use Year in Filter Context , then you can use "2020" to achieve the target

Hope this clarifies. If you have find this as solution please mark this a ssolution and share your Kudoes

Year Function only can handle Dates, you are giving Hours:Minutes as an argument
