Date hierarchy

Hi,

 

I have a general question about Dax in Excel.

  1. I have a fact table and in Power Queryand from this fact table I make a date table. I do this because I want to use the date table as a slicer.
  2. Then I push both table from Power Query to the Data model so that I can work with DAX.
  3. When I make a pivot table in Excel I am not seeing the date hierarchy (Year, Month, Day) that  I would expect from the date table. However, this hierarchy is being created when I use the date column in my fact table.

 

My question is, why is the hierarchy not being created when using the date table?

 

Thanks,

 

Naveen

Please try to group the date column.
