Convert months into years and months

 

Hi

I hope someone can help

I have a column in powerbi which shows months

E.g 18 months

I want a formulae to create a column which converts this to years and months

E.g 1 year 6 months

 

Hopefully this can be achieved with a simple measure

Hi @BCWdesign ,

You can try using:-

convert into year = 
VAR _year = INT([Value]/12)
VAR _Month = [Value]-_year*12
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[Value] < 12,"0 Year, " & [Value] & " Month",
[Value] =12 ,"1 Year, " & "0 Month",
_year &" Year, " &_Month & " Month")

 

Thank you.

Hope this will help you.

Additionally this can be done in power query and then it doesn't matter if you have the word months in the original field or just the number. you can just use the below in a custome column:

 

if Number.RoundDown([Custom]/12) <> 0 then

Number.ToText(Number.RoundDown([Custom]/12)) & " " & "Years" & " " &

Number.ToText(Number.Mod([Custom],12))& " " & "Months" else Number.ToText(Number.Mod([Custom],12)) & " " & "Months"

Hi,

 

provided the original months column field is just a number you can use:

 

Column = VAR _year =
    ROUNDDOWN ( DIVIDE ( 'Table (2)'[Column1], 12 ), 0 )
RETURN
    IF (
        _year <> 0,
        _year & " Year "
            & MOD ( 'Table (2)'[Column1], 12 ) & " Months",
        MOD ( 'Table (2)'[Column1], 12 ) & " Months"
    )
