I would like to add an incremental refresh to our OrderHeader table.
This table is based on oracle and has as date as a number in the format 'CYYDDD'.
For Instance, the 01.01.2020 is in this format converted as '120001'.
That means that I have to convert this date format into a regular date/time format, to operate an incremental refresh in Power BI, right?
For now I have used this function to convert the number into a date:
#date(1900+Number.IntegerDivide([Date], 1000),1,1)+#duration(Number.Mod([Date], 1000)-1,0,0,0)
But since this function will break the query folding, there is no chance for an incremental refresh, right?
Does someone have any ideas, tips or any approach?

I need support of yours for my query.
Currently i have set of records which includes date column as well.
Here on click of a button, i need to check current date and show previous 30 days data.
If any one give me idea on how to do this in Power Bi it will be really helpful.
Thanks
hope you're doing well.
I'm a newbie to PowerBI and I'd want to convert the decimal time/date column values into hours of the time to plot the info over a 24-hour timeline. I was able to achieve this in tableau and as it automatically detects the hours and can easily be able to plot the info. I was a bit close in achieving this in powerBI as I converted the date/time column to time and tried plotting but there's huge noise and looks more cluttered as it took every change in seconds/minutes (the bottom snippet). I've attached the snippets for reference, can anyone pls try to help me on this ?
In Power BI it's recommended to split the DateTime column into separate Date and Time columns. This is both for performance reasons. Over a year a DateTime column with 1sec granularity can have 30M different values, which is much more data than storing one column with 365 values, and one with 86,400 values. And so that your Date column can link to a Date Dimension to provide other DateTime hierarchy attributes, like FiscalQuarter, DayOfWeek, etc.
In Power Query select the DateTime column and go to --> Add Column --> Time -- > Time Only. Then change the data type of the DateTime column to Date.
This also solves your reporting problem as you can simply put the Time column on the X axis.
If you want a custom format string for the time you can add a calculated column in Power Query like
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "TimeDesc", each DateTime.ToText(#date(2020,1,1)&[Time], [Format="h tt"]))
And configure the new column with a "Sort by Column" of Time.
I am trying to create a Dynamic Table in Power BI.
I have my set of data, and basically I want the calendar to pick up the minimum date and the maximum date from my table, but only if the maximum date is not the month of today. If the maximum date is the month of today, then it should ignore it and the calendar should be created with the max date of the previous month.
I started the formula, but can't seem to continue it. Any ideas?
Calendar_= CALENDAR(MIN('Table1'[Date]),IF(MONTH(MAX('Table1'[Date]))=MONTH(TODAY()),date(YEAR(MAX('Table1'[Date])),.....
See if this post helps: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Dynamic-table-or-on-fly-table-generation-via-DAX/m-p/434397#M200275. If not, I would simplify by creating some additional calculated columns or measures and then reference those instead of one nice big formula
THis is an example of what I think i need to do
I would like to ask some modeling advise I cannot solve myself:
I am using Power BI to visualize the time machinery is out of order.
The source is a register of equipment not functioning, with a start date and end date (note that there is no end date if the machine is not fixed yet).
I would like to show the time (hours, percentage, etc) that the machinery is out of order, filter for a specific period /date (e.g. month).
So I have 2 date columns: ‘’Start out of order’’ and ‘’Back in order’’
I do have a date table, which I usually would connect to all the date variables. However, since I am working with a Start and End date. This does not give the result I am looking for.
Any help is very much appreciated!
Kind regards,

I am not sure how you would like to visualise your data, but this is what I managed to do:
create a daysdiff column with
Daysbetween = IF(ISBLANK(TF_Eventos
[End out of order]);DATEDIFF(TF_Eventos[Start out of
order];TF_Eventos[TODAY];HOUR);DATEDIFF(TF_Eventos
[Start out of order];TF_Eventos[End out of order];HOUR))
This creates your column to check difference between Dates.
Then create a separate column with your Date. In this case I copied the Start out of order date, since I thought you might wanted to be able to filter for the start dates. Then simply create a relationship between your newly created Date column and your start out of order date.
Doing so lets you create a visual with the daysbetween (in this case portrayed in hours) and your start dates. Now just simply add a slicer and you can filter on date.
Hope this helps
I am getting data from an excel file which include a column which shows duration as mm:ss:ms
But when I import the data to Power BI Desktop with Power Query, it converts this column to date/time format.
I don't know how can I solve this issue.
Any idea?
I already tried the code below:
format(((TableName[Duration] / 60)/60)/24, "HH:mm:ss")
and already tried to change the source column type from the excel to general.
PowerBI does not currently support milliseconds in date time datatype. You can convert the excel doc to general, load it into PowerBI, and multiply the value by 86400 to get the total number of seconds. Otherwise you'll need to bring it in as a string and do string manipulations to pull out the information you want.
Hope it helps.
