In PowerQuery / Editor I am wanting to create a column with Month ancd Year from a date colum.
What is the best way to go about this...I couldnt see a way to format the date column into (Month,Year)
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
When I did an "Add Column From Examples", I got:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQ31DcyMDRXitUBcYxAHAswx0TfFMEx1TdDcKB6LCEcI31jAyQ5INcQyo0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
#"Added Custom Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Combine({Date.ToText([Date], "MMMM"), ", ", Date.ToText([Date], "yyyy")}), type text)
in
#"Added Custom Column"
