Date column not modeling correctly

I have a column for invoiced_date that was already transformed to a date type in power query, but is not showing that it is a date column and because of that it isn't modeling correctly? What could cause this? Other date columns in the same table are operating correctly.

    Hi, vonw13 ;

    It should be because your column is related to other tables, and it is the "many" end of the relationship, so it is not displayed. This is a normal phenomenon, caused by design.

    When the relationship is one-to-many, Power BI will respect your decision and remove the "many" side date hierarchy.

    When the relationship is one-to-one or one-to-many, Power BI will determine which one is truly "many" side according to the order of selection.

    Please check in Power query if the INVOICE_DATE column has errors. With out enough details, it's hard to suggest a solution.

      No errors and no blanks, what other details would be helpful?
