Date Hierarchy does not get generated
my Date field named created_at is a Date/Time in Power Query when I load the data but not in the model (Data view). Why? How do I make the date hierarchy to get generated automatically? ...

martinmark You will have to first create the columns in the table which are required for creating the Date Hierarchy - possible in Direct Query Mode by using DAX. Then, you can use those columns to create a hierarchy as required.
Note - Use MonthNum column to sort MonthName and if you want full Month name you can modify the DAX calculation as required.
Create below DAX Calculated columns in the table in which you have created_at column -
Year = YEAR('Table'[created_at]) Quarter = "Q" & QUARTER('Table'[created_at]) MonthNum = MONTH('Table'[created_at]) MonthName = SWITCH( MONTH('Table'[created_at]), 1, "Jan", 2, "Feb", 3, "Mar", 4, "Apr", 5, "May", 6, "Jun", 7, "Jul", 8, "Aug", 9, "Sep", 10, "Oct", 11, "Nov", 12, "Dec" )💡 Helpful?

Hi all, thanks for your answers!
divyed , this is exactly my issue. Data Type is set automatically to Date/Time
Rupa01, Time Intelligence option is enabled.
The thing is I am actually using DirectQuery but the data size does not allow me to import.
