Hi there,
I hope you can help me here. I 've got a column which is called document_field2 which has dates in it as text.
e.g.
80624
170624
Now I try to get these dates using following:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Gefilterte Zeilen", "Date", each Date.FromText([document_field2], [Format="dMMyy"]), type date)
It does work for lines which has 6 digits (like 170624) but not for lines with 5 digits (like 80624). Do you know how to solve this?
Best regards
Solved! Go to Solution.
And if instead you specify a culture, like so:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Gefilterte Zeilen", "Date", each Date.FromText([document_field2], [Culture="en-GB"]), type date)
This converted all dates without issue for me.
I hope this is helpful
I've found another solution.
I added a custom column using:
=Text.PadStart(Text.From([document_field2]), 6, "0")
This will add an extra 0 in front when it has not 6 digits.
After that the Date column is working right.
And if instead you specify a culture, like so:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Gefilterte Zeilen", "Date", each Date.FromText([document_field2], [Culture="en-GB"]), type date)
This converted all dates without issue for me.
I hope this is helpful
Hi m-dekorte,
Unfortuneately, there is no change in the result using Format="%dMMyy".
I had look on this article before and tried several things but didn't work either.
