Dates Formatting

Dear

I have the delivery dates and would like to convert them to departure dates.
This means that we calculate 7 days transport for export.
Now the question is:
Is it possible to filter the delivery dates by customer number so that it automatically calculates -7 days?
(The table is created with Power Query)

Thank you very much.

 

 

 

 

  • In Power Query, you can filter delivery dates by customer number and automatically calculate departure dates by subtracting 7 days. Begin by loading your delivery date data into Power Query. Then, create a custom column that filters based on the customer number and subtracts 7 days from the delivery date. To do this,

     

    use the "Add Custom Column" option in Power Query, and write a formula like: = Table.AddColumn(#"PreviousStep", "Departure Date", each if [Customer Number] = YourCustomerNumber then Date.AddDays([Delivery Date], -7) else [Delivery Date]). Replace YourCustomerNumber with the specific customer number for which you want to calculate departure dates.

      Hi Riny

      Yes, exactly. Thank you!
      Is there also the option that only the customer number e.g. 12849 and 10096 with -7 days are displayed?

      Thanks for your help!

        Cuorepazzu Of course, you can filter the others out, but you probably want to do it in a dynamic way. Can you upload (or share a file via Onedrive or similar) with a more realistic example and more than just 3 rows?
