Date Table in Warehouse (Time Intelligence)
- 2 years ago
Hi plimbacher The dashed blue line signifies that the table is in "DirectLake" mode (data is not Imported into the Semantic model but is accessed very fast in the underlying storage layer). Marking a table as a date table is currently not supported if you are using the "default semantic model". You'll need to create a custom semantic model and then the option becomes available:

In my opinion, the default semantic model should be removed from Fabric, because it has so many limitations compared to a custom (new) semantic model. The default semantic model also takes up unnecessary space in the workspace.
