Hi,

Could somebody please tell me what this line in the Applied Steps in PowerBI would be doing, it adds a column, and it looks like it takes a number from Date A, but I'm not sure what the double period between the two NumberFrom's does.

Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type","Custom",each {NumberFrom([DateA])..Number.From([From([Dateb])})


Thanks
Gavin
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).

Basically it is converting the column[DateA] and [Dateb] from the Table of the previous step "#Changed Type" into number format.

You could manually change/delete the step which was auto generated when you get data from a source.
