Mark as a data table
Hallo everyone
I am trying to mark a table as a data table, but I am getting these errors
Could you help me?
Thank you
Miriam
Hi miriambb ,
It seems like you are trying to mark a fact table with multiple occurences of the same date as a date table. Instead you should create a separate date dimension with one date per row (without gaps) which then should have a relationship to your received_at column.
Here some links on how to create such a date dimension:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

thank you for your help!
I did create the table however, the relationship between my table and the new one with only the date is not working... I am assuming the common fields across both tables is the dates ? also i am assuming there is no need to the table as a date table?
Thank you
Miriam
it worked 😄 thank you for your help!
