date format transformation into a new column

Hi,

 

I have a date column format (month ,day, year) ranging from January 2015 to December 2017.  I would like to create a new column such as January 2015 to May 2016 is recorded as 1,  June 2016 to January 2017 as 2, Feb 2017 to Dec 2017 as 3.  Is there a Dax function allowing such transformation? Or what would be the DaX formula in powerbi?  

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

This is my first proposal as a solution, pretty sure there are better answers and please don't laugh too hard (experts).

 

=if([Date]<=date(2016,05,31),1,if([Date]<=date(2017,01,31),2,3))

Yup..... It works perfectly. Laughting at myself as it was so simple, an IF function.  Thanks soooo much you JP-Ronse
