Looking to get the current month and year from date column.
Below one not working:
FORMAT(Date(MONTH(Dim.DateTable.Date.Today())),"MMMM")
If you want an extra column with only the month, you can use:
FORMAT(yourTable[yourDateColumn],"MMMM")
If you want a date to show consistant over your report as MMMM yyyy, select the column, click tab modeling and select the format of the column there.

I have a table with the columns |Month|Year|Cost|. I want my table visual to show the current month and previous month only, how do I go about automating this so I don't have to click the specific month on the filter?
Select your Visual. Go to Filter and select the Date column. Fill in according image below and Apply Filter.
I have a report where I have sales data for end of every month. When I see the data in drop down ,I can see the end of month date , but when I have used slicer it shows the entire date range and not only the last day of the month. Is there any way in slicer through which I can just limit the date, so that only last day of month will be shown in slicer ?
If you have a dates table with a date field (named Date, in this case), you could add a column with this code: Table.AddColumn(PreviousStep, "EndOfMonth", each Date.EndOfMonth([Date]), type date)
I have columns with year and month in alphabet in power BI. I want to convert this to date and connect the table with the date table.
When I convert the column to date by clicking on the "ABC" symbol next to the year then all the data is converted as 01/01/2020. I want to use the months in the period column and the day of the month can be any value. So, the second row should be 02/01/2020.
You can use the following custom column under Edit Queries > Add Column > Custom Column to create your date:
I have a column (monthyear) in the image below. I want to extract the Month and year from the column to put it in the new column. Note: In my dataset this information goes for every day of the year
So the new column would look like:
01/2020
01/2020
01/2020
etc.
In Power Query, use some of the date functions.
To get the year it will be
Date.Year([monthyear])
For the month, it will depend on how you want to format it. Using the month of June as an example:
To get 'Jun'
Date.ToText([monthyear],"MMM")
To get the month number in the format 06
Number.ToText(Date.Month([monthyear]), "00")
Just to get the number 6 it will be:
Date.Month([monthyear])
In DAX use the date functions
For year the calculated column will be:
YEAR([monthyear])
For the month:
MONTH([monthyear])
I would always do a much data transformation in Power Query when you can before it gets to the data model.
I'm using the Data Segmentation visualization in Power Bi to filter the page using a Date column, but it shows the whole date (Day, Month, Year) and I need to show only Month and Year, is there a way to filter out the day?
You can create a new column in PowerBI desktop and use it.
Click on New Column in Home ribbon under Calculations section and enter like
MonthYear = Query1[CreatedDate].[Month] & "-" & Query1[CreatedDate].[Year]
Where CreatedDate is your current date field. Then you can use MonthYear column to filter.
When adding the date into the Viz, right click on the field and you show be able to deselect the date items you do not want.
