How to convert dates into financial years

Hi Jens,

I need to create a column converting dates into financial years in Power BI, please could you guide me on this?

Many thanks for your help.

RE: How to convert dates into financial years

Hi Teresa,


Thank you for the forum question.

The best solution is to have a financial years column in the Date table and use this financial years column in visuals where your numbers need to be shown by financial years.

If your financial years starts 1 April

financial years = YEAR(EDATE([Dates],9))


[Dates] is the column header in which you have the dates.





Kind regards
