Connecting dates from different sheets

Hello, 

 

I have been working on this for a couple of days now and I cannot seem to come up with a solution on this. 

 

I have two tabs in Excel within one sheet. Both tabs have a date column. The issue is when I setup a relationship with those date columns in Power Bi it does not work very well. I think the reason why is because the date date columns are setup like this:

 

First tab                          Second Tab

Date:                               Date:

01/1/2021                       01/1/2021

01/1/2021                       02/1/2021

01/1/2021                       03/1/2021

01/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

02/1/2021

03/1/2021

03/1/2021

03/1/2021

 

I am not sure how to get them to connect correclty when the dates look like this. If it still should work, then there must be another issue.

    Could you please expand on the meaning of:

     

    "The issue is when I setup a relationship with those date columns in Power Bi it does not work very well."

     

    Thanks.
