Adding specific dates to columns and setting format to YYYYMMDD

Hello, I would like to add 2 specific dates in separate columns in my Power query.
I would like the dates as follows:

1. Start date 20230101 (YYYYMMDD)

2. End date 20300101 (YYYYMMDD)

 

I have read a lot of the similar questions on here but just cant find an exact solution.

 

thank you 🙂
