Apply Custom Date Hierarchy to Model
- 5 years ago
I'll try to give Kudos accordingly to all those who have helped but ultimately a combination of fixes were necessary:
1. Ensure there exists a Date table within the model that includes its own hierarchy with "Week" within it.
2. Separate the table of data into 2 tables, one for opened items and one for closed items
3. Ensure each table's Date column is either formatted as "Date" (rather than DateTime) or else create a duplicate column that is defined as Date only
4. Connect the two tables' "Date" formatted Date columns to the Date table within the model
5. Build the Visualisation, using the Count of the date only date columns of the two data tables as the column values, and the Date hierarchy as the shared axis - the data has come out perfectly.
