Question regarding date/time table

Hello,

 

I am very new to Power BI and I've encounterd a problem related to time/date convertion and relationship. I'm trying to make a calendar-table "dimKalender" for my sales-table "factSalg" with the relationship *:1. When I link the two different in the model view with "date" it appears as a 1:1 relationship. I have formated both date-related data into date/time, both in PowerQuery and in data view. 

 

The "dimKalender" is made with the following DAX-function:

 
dimKalender =
    Calendar
        (date   (year   (min    (factSalg[Dato])), 1,1),
        date    (year   (max    (factSalg[Dato])),12,31)
    )

I went into PowerQuery and removed the "time"-data on the "factSalg" which made the *:1 connection possible. 

 

Does anybody know how I can fix it so that the "time" is possible to keep, while I can sitll make the *:1 connection between the tables?

@GunnarStone Leave the original column in place and add a new column that truncates the time off? Then you make the relationship on the non-time data column but you still have the original column that includes the data and time.
