    pang22 , You can add new custom column and extract month and date.

     

    Use below given M-Code in customcolumn

     

    = Text.PadStart(Text.From(Date.Month([DeliveryMonth])), 2, "0") & "/" & Text.From(Date.Year([DeliveryMonth]))

    Hi pang22 

     

    In Power Query, the date format is decided by your computer's regional setting when the column is of date data type. If you want to display a date in MM/YYYY (07/2024) format, you will have the result of Text data type. To convert dates to text in MM/YYYY (07/2024) format, you can use Date.ToText - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn

     

    Add a custom column with

    Date.ToText([Delivery Month], [Format="MM/yyyy"])

     

    Best Regards,
    Jing
