This is what I started with:
I verified through SQL that these are the correct numbers that I need. I wanted to take off the time, so I transformed the data and took the time out. The problem is that when I do this, it messes up my numbers.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Is it a relationship issue possibly? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
Yes, it's recommended to use a calendar table for that and you should start with a basic one and grow with the needs. Keeping the model cleaner is always important!
If you allow me i can also recommend to use the tool Bravo from SQLBI to create the date table. It's simple and it allows some customization to start.
If you want you can also use a calendar created in Power Query, there are some good example in the web.
Tell me if you need any more help!

Hi villasenorbritt ,
Can you show the transformations that you did?
Do you have more than one value for each day?
Are you using a Calendar Table connected to that table?
I copied the colum and hit the "Date only" option. There are many values for each day. I am currently working on getting a Calender Table in there so that might be the issue. I'm just not sure how to decide which calendar format to choose and if it needs to be aligned with my data source or if I can just stick a generic one in there. Thanks for helping me out.
