Dates showing individually

can you please tell me what i am missing in my report?  I am trying to display the count of loans by entry date.  And the dates are showing individually.  I would like similar dates to combine.  Thanks

    Hi v-juanli-msft ,

     

    Thanks for replying.  I was actually able to fix my problem by changing the column type to 'date only' under edit queries.  For some reason, powerbi seem to still think that the column is datetime even though the format is already changed within the table, the format is already showing date and the column is already showing the date only value.

     

    This is the first time i have used the option 'date only'.  But it works :).

     

    Thanks again

    If i set the EntryDate with Hierarchy(Day), then it is able to show the # of loans per day correctly.  But I also wanted it to show as MM/dd/yyyy - not in a hierarchy.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you

    Hi gco 

    I can't reproduce your problem.
