Hello All, Why I can not create the YearMonth column in the linked file through the following DAX :
Date = FORMAT(DATE('Table'[YERR],'Table'[Month],1),"MM-YYYY")How I can create it?

Solved! Go to Solution.
You will need to use following
= FORMAT(DATE(YEAR('Calendar'[Year]),'Calendar'[Month Number],1),"MM-YYYY")In your YEAR column, you have used STARTOFYEAR which gives a date. But in DATE, it needs a number for YEAR. YEAR('Calendar'[Year]) provides that year number.
Second problem was that you were using month name as second argument for Date whereas it needed a number 1-12 which should have been provided through 'Calendar'[Month Number].
Looks like you have misspelled Year as YERR that is why you must be getting error.
Since, your pbix file refers to a csv file, hence data is not visible to me. But you can always refer to date field itself. i.e. even following would work
=FORMAT('Table'[Date],"MM-YYYY")
Use this
Year Month = FORMAT('Calendar'[Date],"MM-YYYY")Where is the problem with the following, please ?

Try:
MonthYear = FORMAT(Table[Month], "00") & "-" & Table[Year]
