    Hi Diportee97 

     

    The main issue is calendar table, date column(Date/time data type) having same time for all dates(shows 12:00 AM for all dates). It means whenever you filter the data it will look for same date and time. That's why you can't see the data.

    Hence, I changed date column as 'Date' data type only ratherthan Date/time data type in the calendar table and created a new date column with 'Date' data type only in Hosptial_ER table.

    Now you can able to see the data. Here I am attching a smaple .pbix file url

    Hi Diportee97 

     

    Thanks for the reply from Murtaza_Ghafoor and ajaybabuinturi .

     

    My suggestion is to create a date column in both the Calendar and Hospital ER tables, and then create a relationship between the two tables based on this column.

     

    Date without time = FORMAT('Hospital ER'[Date], "yyyy-mm-dd")

     

    Date without time = FORMAT('Calendar'[Date], "yyyy-mm-dd")

     

     

    Output:

     

    This is done because the time in the calendar table is 12:00am, through my test, if the column with time is used as a slicer, only the data at 12:00am in the Hospital ER table can be filtered.

     

    Best Regards,
