Linking Tables - dates

‎02-26-2018 04:24 PM

Hi, 

 

I have a master Date table, and I'm trying to link it to a number of other tables, all with Year and Month. The Year and Month columns in my other tables are stored as Text, which I think might be part of the problem, but I can't seem to change this without getting an error... ??

Is anyone able to help?

 

Thank you 

Sonia

Hi,

 

In the Other Table, generate a genuine date from the Month and Year by using this formula

 

=1*("1/"&Table2[Month]&"/"&Table2[Year])

 

Format this new column as Date and give it a meaningful heading.  Now create a relatioship from the Date column (that you just created with the formula above) of the Other Table to the Date column of your caalendar table.

 

Hope this helps.
