Good morning.
Among the data I enter into Power BI is a dd-mm-yy date column. But my final reports require an analysis based on "Billing Periods" that correspond from 26 month1 to 25 month2.
That is, perido April 2020, is defined from 26 March 2020 until 25 April 2020.
In excel I use the following formula to create a new column.
•YES(@O:O-";""; SI(DIA(@O:O)<26; DATE(YEAR(@O:O); MONTH(@O:O);1); DATE(YEAR(@O:O); MONTH(@O:O)+1;1)))
Where "O:O" it's the column that has the dates.
Which simpler options I can use in power BI to have Billing PERIODS.
I am very grateful for the suggestions.

Hi @Bosh ,
We can create a calculate column to meet your requirement.
Column =
var _month =MONTH('Table'[Date])
var _next_month = _month + 1
var _current_date = DATE(YEAR('Table'[Date]),_month,26)
var _next_date = DATE(YEAR('Table'[Date]),_next_month,25)
var _format1 = FORMAT(_next_date,"mmm")&" "&YEAR('Table'[Date])
var _format2 = FORMAT(_current_date,"mmm")&" "&YEAR('Table'[Date])
return
IF('Table'[Date]<_next_date && 'Table'[Date]>=_current_date,_format1,_format2)
If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the pbix that we have shared?

Thank you very much for your input.
I got the expected result, using the following formulas:

Hello @Bosh , thank you for posting this, this helped me also.
@v-zhenbw-msft Thank you for your solution. Just additional inquiry, would it be possible to make it as a DATE format and not as TEXT? But still the same "mmm YYYY"? Thank you so much!
@Bosh - Those same functions are in DAX, MONTH, DATE, YEAR, etc. I would probably create a custom column in a date table where you would calculate the billing period for the dates. You could then use that in a slicer.
