I'm am trying to "construct" a date by concatenating 3 text fields together. I need this to be a date so that I can use date intelligence functions with it. The formaula in dax is: PeriodDate = value(dim_Time[FiscalYear]) & "/" & value(dim_Time[Period]) & "/" & value(dim_Time[Week]). The new column looks like a date, but it does not function as one. When I try something like this: DATEDIFF(TODAY(),dim_Time[PeriodDate],DAY) I get an error that says "The conversion of a nvarchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface."
Thanks in advance.

Can you just use the DATE function?

Worked like a charm (once I removed invalid month values). Thanks so much!
