Hello,
I would like to calculate the percent of sales within each month,

Excel Formula:
Monthly % = 
VAR num = [Total Sales] 
VAR den = CALCULATE([Total Sales],ALLEXCEPT(Alls,Alls[Dates]) ) 
VAR anser = DIVIDE(num , den ) 
RETURN anser

But this is not what I want , I want to access the Month from the hierarchy not 'dates', but I need Month, in Power query the option is available even if you only initially start with a date column, or is there a way to get to the Month?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Just to follow up I added a Month Column and used that and was then able do get what I wanted, but if anyone has any better ideas please let me know.
