If Statement with a Calculation

I am trying to create a Fiscal calendar that is particular to our company. 

 

I have the transaction year and the transation month, what I am looking to do is to create a new calculated column that would add 1 to a the year if the associated month is > 8.  

 

essentially, this is what I would like:

IF [year] > 8 then ([year]+1), [year]

 

Thank you.

Please follow below steps 

 

1. In power query create a new column 

Transaction Date +1 = Date.AddYears([Transaction date],1)

2. In visual write below dax

New Transaction date = if(MONTH('Table'[Transaction date])>8,'Table'[Transaction Date +1],'Table'[Transaction date])

 

Please confirm if it works..!!

Thank you - I would need the new year in a column on its own. 

I do get the idea behind this - so thank  you for that. 🙂

Step 2 woudl be to create a new column based i guess.

Hi,

Another way using DAX without creating a new column in Power query

 

Create a column with below dax

New Transaction date = if(MONTH('Table'[Transaction date])>8,IFERROR(DATE(YEAR('Table'[Transaction date])+1, MONTH('Table'[Transaction date]), DAY('Table'[Transaction date])), BLANK()),'Table'[Transaction date])
 
Hope this helps 🙂
