How to create a date column in query editor from year and period columns

[neelofarshama]

Hi,

I need to create a Date column in my query editor to setup the incremental refresh. In my model I have year and Period columns existing as shown below using which I need to create a Date column.

I have create date using DAX in the report

Date=date(Table[YEAR],REPLACE(Table[PERIOD],1,7,""),1) this will give date=12/1/19 

I want the same to be created in query editor for my incremental refresh.

Please help

 Hi 

You can try #date([YEAR], Number.FromText(Text.End([PERIOD], 2)), 1)

Once you create the custom date column are you changing its type to DateTime? Does it allow you to?

Yes I changed it to Date format it allowed but then its throwing this error.

Hi @davehus 

Thank you for the reply. The same error is popping up after your solution also.

I created 2 parameters range start - 12/31/2019

range end -12/31/2022

then I applied custom filtering to the created date column >= range start and <=Range end.

When I hit close & apply I am getting this error

Hi @neelofarshama ,

This should work Custom column

Text.End([Period],2)&"/"&"1"&"/"&Text.From([Year])
