I solved hard way. I am gonna explain;
There is example data : 6 Haziran 2014 Cuma I splitted this data like dd/mm/YYYY
Day=LEFT(Sales[OrderDate],SEARCH(" ",Sales[OrderDate])-1)
Year = RIGHT(LEFT(Sales[OrderDate],SEARCH(" ",Sales[OrderDate],12)),5)
For Month i used conditional column. Like: each if Text.Contains([OrderDate], "Ocak") then 1 else if .....
And finally OrderDateForConnection = Sales[Day] & "/" & Sales[Month] & "/" & Sales[Year] and its worked :)

I was able to get this working by duplicating the date table and creating a relationship to its duplicate on year and month.
Add a [YearMonth] column to your date table
Duplicate the Dates table as Dates2
Create a many-to-many data relationship between Dates and Dates2 on the [YearMonth] column. Set the cross filter direction to Single (Dates filters Dates2)
Set up your report to use a slicer or filter on Dates[Date] and display Date2[Day] in a table visual. Here is the result:

Columns in each table - Year, Month and YearMonth. How can I create a calendar table? In PowerBI

I have three columns Year, Month and YearMonth on each data source table.
Example,
Year - 2020
Month - 3
YearMonth - 202003
Data type and format of these columns are Whole number.
How can I create a common Calendar table which can be linked to the YearMonth column of the each table to make a relationship.
Is there any way?
Thanks in advance!
In PowerQuery
Reference one of your source tables
Select the Year, Month and YearMonth column
Remove other columns
Remove duplicate rows
and here's your calender table. You only need to set up relations between all the YearMonth columns and then you can hide Year, Month and YearMonth in all source tables.
