Calendar Days Decades

Hello Community,

 

I am looking for an option to have dynamicaly (based on date table) calculated the day decades.

Each month has 3 decades with start day 1st, 11th and 21st, so the result would be a new column "Decade" with values 1,2,3 for each month.

In the visuals I want to add this filter to show results for 1st, 2nd and/or 3rd decade.

 

It would be great if some one would have an idea how to add this to the M Code.

 

Thanks & Kind Regards

Hello @Pillic 

 

you can add a nestef if-function to achieve this. Here the formula

if [Tag]<11 then 1 else if [Tag]<21 then 2 else 3

If you would not have the day-value in your table, but only a date-value you could substitute the [Tag] with Date.Day([Date]).

here a complete example

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Lc67DcAwDAPRXVSnCKk4n1kM779GAJ6bU8UHzVmqdcxy2umVjvROn/RNv1Qnh7WYi70AhCAIYQhEKEbx/gHFKEYxilGMYhSjNErvX2qtHw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Tag = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Tag", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Decade", each if [Tag]<11 then 1 else if [Tag]<21 then 2 else 3)
in
    #"Added Custom"

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
