Hi,
I need to convert the months from text to a number, i have the names of the month in a column but need these to be shown as number. I am trying to use datevalue to convert the month from January to 01/January/2019. How could I combine the data from the column and change it to a number/date.
I have tried the following formula but get an error message.

hi @pardeepd84
Try this measure:
Convert to date = DATEVALUE("01/"&FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Month Name],"")&"/2019")

Hi @pardeepd84 ,
Based on my test, you could use the following formula to create a Date column or a Month number column:
Date= DATEVALUE("01-"&[Month Name]&"-2019")
Month Number = MONTH( DATEVALUE("01-"&[Month Name]&"-2019") )
And then change the Format as you expect:
Refer to:
DATEVALUE function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

Hi,
Try this calculated column formula
Date = 1*("01/"&Data[Month Name]&"/2019")
Format this as a Date.
@pardeepd84 You could try this:

Hi I still get the same error message.
Can you share sample of your data in the table format here (not image), or share your PBI file?
