Date hierarchy doesn't work with shared data source
Hi,
I have a shared power bi data source and am trying to write a DAX formula utilizing the date hierarchies.
The measure formula works in the original report, but when I try to create a new similar measure in the new report I get an error on the .[Year]
My measure is:
@bbeer, for these cases it is best to create a date table with the required column and, if necessary, create a custom hierarchy
To get the best out of the time intelligence function. Make sure that you have a date calendar and that it has been marked as the date in the model view. Also, join her with the date column of your events. Recommended:

We appreciate your congratulations.Thank you very much for your quick response.
I already had a date table in my shared source, so I assumed I could just use that one.
Fortunately, I was able to solve my problem using the Year-over-year quick measure function.
Thank you again, your links will definitely come in handy in the future!
