@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
