I have 2 columns:
The first column indicates my source and is a concatenation of the file name plus the as of date
The second column is the record number.
Here is an example:
1. extract_093020.xls
2. 22937
My goal is to produce a third column that has the following: Date_record number.
Here is an example:
093020_22937
I tried this expression (below), but get the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "2020-09-30" to type List.
Details:
Value=2020-09-30
Type=[Type]
Text.Combine( "20"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],19,2)&"-"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],15,2)&"-"&Text.Middle([Source.Name],17,2))+[Record ID]
Please hlep me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
