Change the date based on time stamp
- 6 years ago
Hi mailo2000 ,
If I understand your question, you would like a new column that uses a day earlier if the hour is 6 am or less.
You would like to go from the first pic to the second?
Here is what you need to paste into the Adv Editor. in Power Query
Basically I created a new col with a date a day earlier, then extracted the hour, then wrote a conditional statement that said if the hour is less than or equal to 6, select the earlier day, if not select the time stamp day.
If you are a beginner let me highly recommend KenPuls book M is for (Data) Monkey and MattAllington book Supercharge Power BI
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

#"Changed Type2"
HI,
Let you can try FORMAT as my example below
NewColumn = Format([Datetime field],"DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm AM/PM")
I think that should be able to help you.
Thanks
