data format
Hi,
i have created a column with the following DAX command:
Annual Days = CALENDAR(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1),DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,31))
but when i assign this column at the visual I can't see the data Hierarchy (Year, Quarter, Month) but only the single day
Hi AlessandroBet ,
In Power BI Desktop, you select File > Options and settings > Options, and then select either the Global or Current File page. On either page, the option exists in the Time intelligence section.
There are also restrictions on date hierarchies:
- The table storage mode is Import
- The column data type is date or date/time
- The column isn't the "many" side of a model relationship
Refer to：
Why there is no date hierarchy - Microsoft Power BI Community
There is also a workaround:
You can create four calculated columns to extract the "Year," "Quarter," "Month“,” Day " from column"Date".
Then you can manually create new Heirarchy, by right-clicking on the date, then drag in the other pieces you need ("Year," "Quarter," "Month“,” Day, ").
Year = YEAR('Annual Days'[Date]) Quarter = QUARTER('Annual Days'[Date]) Month = MONTH('Annual Days'[Date]) Day = DAY('Annual Days'[Date])Click [Date] – Create hierarchy
Add four columns to the hierarchical results
[Day] – Add to hierarchy – Date Hierarchy.

Hello AlessandroBet ,

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
For date hierarchy you need to have a separate year and month column.Dax you written only show the date between that particular period what you have defined.
If I answered your question,kindly mark it as solution.
Thanks,

Could you make an example?
