Hi All,
I am trying to extract the date information from a text sample as such in PowerBI: "ABC Company 25.06.21"
So I have tried to use the following methods to extract the date:
I'd like to point out that such things should always be done either in the data source or in Power Query. Never in DAX unless you have a very, very, VERY strong reason to deviate from Best Practices.
Hi @daxer-almighty , thank you very much for the heads up, will take note on that.
@daxer-almighty You Shouldn't Use DAX for That - Microsoft Power BI Community
@Cze-Jhin Power Query:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnRyVnDOzy1IzKtUMDLVMzDTMzJUio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByEachDelimiter({" "}, QuoteStyle.Csv, true), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Column1.1", type text}, {"Column1.2", type text}}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Column1.2", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(".", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1.2.1", "Column1.2.2", "Column1.2.3"}),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{{"Column1.2.1", Int64.Type}, {"Column1.2.2", Int64.Type}, {"Column1.2.3", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type2", "Custom", each #date(2000+[Column1.2.3],[Column1.2.2],[Column1.2.1])),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Column1.2.1", "Column1.2.2", "Column1.2.3"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
DAX
Column =
VAR __FirstPeriod = SEARCH(".",[Column1])
VAR __Year = RIGHT([Column1],2) + 2000
VAR __Month = MID([Column1],__FirstPeriod+1,2)
VAR __Day = MID([Column1],__FirstPeriod-2,2)
RETURN
DATE(__Year,__Month,__Day)
