Dax Measure - Today's Date in YYYYMMDD in Number format with leading zeros?

Is it possible to create a measure that would return today's date in YYYYMMDD format but as a whole number? So today's date (May 18th 2020) would return as 20200518 but as a number.

@Anonymous , try like

Column = FORMAT(TODAY(), "YYYYMMDD")*1

 

Even if you create it like

Column = FORMAT(TODAY(), "YYYYMMDD")

You can change data type as whole number
