    Hi  M_SBS_6 ,

     

    You can check if the "Auto data/time" option is turned on by following the steps below. If it is not turned on, then tick the box and reopen Power BI Desktop.

    Refer to:

    Auto date/time in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Liu Yang

      It's already set as a date and that's why I can't work out why it won't allow a hierarchy

        M_SBS_6  If you join this Date column with another table's Date column so hierarchy will not be there.
