Convert Sales period to a date?

Good afternoon!

 

I am new to the forums (and Power BI), but have lurked for a bit. Thank you all for the vast info here!

 

I have a Sales/Recruiting period that I need to convert to a static date. For example, we have Winter 2017, Spring 2017, Summer 2017, etc..

 

What I would like to do is have the Quarter get associated with a static date (every Winter = January 10th), then append the year from the quarter to the end, leaving each Quarter with a usable date field like 1/10/2017 in order to utilize date driven charts/graphs. Is this something that would be easy to do?

 

Thanks in advance for any/all input!

I believe I just figured it out. I associated each of the Terms with a date in a Conditional Column, then appended the fiscal year to the end using [field name]&'/'&[year]. Then I Used the Sort By to sort the Term column by the Term Date. This seems to have worked for what I needed.

 

Thank you for your reply!

HI,

 

i think you can use the replace values function in Query EditorCapture.PNG 1017.PNG
