Calendar Visual

[SabineOussi]

Hello everyone,

I am using the calendar visual to display a simple date and count.

Problem is it's displaying nothing for the dates between March 28 and the end of the year though there is data for all years.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Any solutions?

Thanks.

[EDIT] This is also the case of the visual's sample file.

I'm encountering the same issue at the moment. I don't see any data from June, but when I select Export data from the Calendar visual, it shows me the data:

2017-06-12 09:00:00,5
2017-06-13 09:00:00,3
2017-06-14 09:00:00,2
2017-06-15 09:00:00,1
2017-06-16 09:00:00,1
2017-06-19 09:00:00,1
2017-06-20 09:00:00,3
2017-06-22 09:00:00,1
2017-06-28 09:00:00,1
2017-07-03 09:00:00,1

I have no Page or Report filters applied.

How many data rows does your data-set have? Custom visual doesn't suppor more than 1000 rows by default.

I discovered what the problem is. Only the records are shown where the DateTime field has a time value of 00:00:00:

Record with a time which is different (like in de the screenshot: 09:00:00 and 13:00:00) are not shown.

Hi

Could you tell me which Locale you work in? 

I have loaded the same data locally and see a fully rendered visual.

Dutch (Nederlands). I'm loading data from a SQL table by the way.

@andycross,

I suppose that you should include an ability to show dates with time to Calendar visual.

Could you please consider this in future versions of the visual?

@v-viig @RudyK I don't think that's the problem.

The visual sample file also has the same behavior and the time for all dates is 12:00:00 AM

@SabineOussi,

I'm not able to reproduce the same issue using your locale.

Could you please change data type format to date (instead of Date/Time) using Power BI Desktop's top ribbon?

Hi @v-viig

It is already of type date and not date/time.

[v-viig]

@SabineOussi,

Could you please clarify these items:

• Which version of Power BI Desktop do you use?
• Can you reproduce the same issue in Power BI service?

I am using the latest PBI Desktop version

Same issue on the server when I import the calendar visual and when I publish an already created report, the screenshot below is the sample downloaded from the calendar visual page

@SabineOussi,

Are you able to reproduce the same issue on any another machine?

I suppose that the issue is related to locale and timezone, but we have to be sure.

I'm currently using Windows 10 Enterprise.

Same issue on Windows 10 Pro (different IP) and Windows 8.1 (same IP).

All running 64-bit OS.

@SabineOussi,

Do you use Dutch (Nederlands) for all machines?

@RudyK is using Dutch (Netherlands).

I use English (United States) and yes for all machines.

[v-viig]

@SabineOussi,

Which timezone do you use on your machine?

Is it possible to arrange a remote session with you if there're no repro steps on my machine even with your timezone and locale?

Hi All,

I made an extra column where I concat the DATE part and a fixed 00:00:00 time. Now (as I assumed earlier in this thread) works like a charm!

So there is definitly an issue with datetimes with another time than 00:00:00.

[v-viig]

@RudyK Thanks for your investigation.

@SabineOussi Can you try @RudyK's solution on your machine?

Let's arrange a meeting if this solution doesn't work for you.

Unfortunately this doesn't work.

[andycross]

I have managed to find and correct the bug with non-midnight DateTimes being used. I'll package a new version soon.

@SabineOussiI think this is culture related, what is your local time zone and regional settings?
