My new code (1 above) correctly calculates the financial year (shown in 2). Note I also changed the default column name to “Fin Year” to avoid confusion with calendar year. Add Other Columns It is important to add an ID column that supports the creation of custom time intelligence formulas. I cover time intelligence in detail here. The YYMM column is not useful for time intelligence because the gap between each number is not evenly spaced. eg 1711, 1712, 1801, 1802… Note: The benefit of invoking the function is that it manages all the syntax and parameters automatically for you using the UI wizard – much easier given there is currently no Intellisense capabilities in Power Query.

Inserted Day Name" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Month Name", "Day Name", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date]), type text), I added a new step using the “Add Step” button (1 below). This created a new step (2 below). Note how this new step automatically references the previous step (3). This is the default, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The next problem is that this is Date/Time format. I only want Date format, so I wrapped a DateTime.Date() function around the code to extract the date portion (shown below). I renamed this step Today. Each time the query is refreshed, this step will automatically update to reflect the current date. Added Custom” = Table.AddColumn(#”Fiscal Source”, “Date ISO8601”, each Date.ToText([Date], “YYYY-MM-DD”))

After doing this, something strange happened. A new query was created (two below) and this new query passes the parameters to the first query (shown in 3 below). Let me explain this further. Just by looking at the UI above (red box), you can see that there is some strange data format returned. You can probably work out this data is in the format DDD:HH:MM:SS. This “duration” format wont work in the next step I am about to show you, so first I needed to extract an integer portion of the duration so it contains just the days. I did this using a function called Duration.Days below.With that in mind, then, we're off to try and choose which of the best reusable advent calendars will be gracing our home for years to come.

Note there is no equals sign used, just the date entered as 1/1/2016. This new step called StartDate is a hard coded step in the query that stores the required start date as a scalar value. You can tell it is a scalar value because the results pane below the Formula Bar is displaying the scalar value, not a table (1 below). (Note it is possible to use a parameter instead of a custom step, but this would create an additional query – I prefer to have everything embedded in the same master query).
