Text Date into Date

‎06-29-2021 02:51 AM

Hi Community,

 

may I ask for quick help please.

How can I transform an into text converted date "43831" back to date format?

All I have tried returns only "Error" values.

 

Thanks a lot!

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!
