Date Splitter

I have a database that has a date column i am trying to manipulate. I need to be able to search the database for a particular month and year, the day is not important. When i refresh i want to be able to pick a month and year and only show me the information for said month(s) and year.

 

Thanks for any advice!

@CostaBella ,

 

After connecting to the object in the database.

 

create a column month year , or two columns year and month and filter the data you want in Power Query?

 

 

else, 

 

while connecting to the database, you should be able to to filter before connecting as well. 

 

example in SQL server using T sql in the advanced options:
