Syntax

ENDOFYEAR(<dates> [,<year_end_date>])

Parameters

Term

Definition

dates

A column that contains dates.

year_end_date

(optional) A literal string with a date that defines the year-end date. The default is December 31.

Return Value

A table containing a single column and single row with a date value.

Remarks

Note

To understand more about how context affects the results of formulas, see Context in DAX Formulas.

The dates argument can be any of the following:

  • A reference to a date/time column,

  • A table expression that returns a single column of date/time values,

  • A Boolean expression that defines a single-column table of date/time values.

Note

Constraints on Boolean expressions are described in the topic, CALCULATE Function (DAX).

The year_end_date parameter is a string literal of a date, in the same locale as the locale of the client where the workbook was created. The year portion of the date is ignored.

Example

The following sample formula creates a measure that returns the end of the fiscal year that ends on June 30, for the current context.

To see how this works, create a PivotTable and add the field CalendarYear to the Row Labels area of the PivotTable. Then add a measure, named EndOfFiscalYear, using the formula defined in the code section, to the Values area of the PivotTable.
