ADD A COLUMN WITH A SPECIFIC DATE

 

Hello!

 

Very stupid question. Seems super simple, but cannot find the solution. Just trying to add a date manually into a column in a table. All I need to add is a column with a specific date (e.g. 31/Dec/2019) which will have the same value in all the column.

 

I try adding a custom column but it does not recognize the DATE function, neither does it recognize a simple =DD.MM.YYYY

 

Thanks!

In DAX,

 

DATE(2019,12,31)

 

In Power Query, I would just do something like:

 

="12/31/2019"

 

And then just convert the column to be a date.
