calendar table with Sunday

Hi there,

 

I have created a calendar table separately because I wanted to showcase the days of the week and I used the below to create a column called MONTH DAY

Month Day = FORMAT([Date],"MMM dd") & " " & FORMAT('Calendar Table'[Date],"dddd")

But now I have the request to show only Sunday as the day on there like for e.g. Dec 01, Dec 02, Dec 03, Dec 04, Dec 05 Sunday, Dec 06, Dec 07, Dec 08, Dec 09, Dec 10, Dec 11, Dec 12 Sunday.  Can someone please advise if there is something I can add to the function to achieve this??

My test seems to show this works:

Month Day = FORMAT([Date],"MMM dd") & " " & IF( FORMAT([Date],"dddd") = "Sunday", FORMAT([Date],"dddd", "" ))

Might be a cleaner way write it, but the concept works.

Hope it works out for you.

@sraj,

Please copy and paste your formula as text (like you did in your original post) - not as a picture.  I will try to see if I can spot the error.

@sraj,

You did not put in the "IF" statement after the second "&".   This is what makes the formula work!

You should be able to just copy and paste what I gave you.
