How can I add a month name custom column within power Query? I have a Complete date column already loaded, but want a custom column in format "mmm-yy"
Solved! Go to Solution.
use this formula:
Text.Start(Date.MonthName([Date]), 3) & "-" & Text.End(Text.From(Date.Year([Date])), 2)
It returns this. You just need to set the column type to Text when done @jcastr02

MCSA: BI ReportingHello @jcastr02
you can use the formula Date.ToText like this
Date.ToText([Date],"MMM-yy")
Here the complete example
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTVMzDUMzJQitWBcwyVYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}, "de-DE"),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "MMM-yy", each Date.ToText([Date],"MMM-yy"))
in
#"Added Custom"
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
