Calendar-based Time Intelligence Preview - Issue

Hi,

Using the Preview of the Calendar-Based Time Intelligence , I have created a Fiscal Calendar in order to simplify the measures' expressions. However, one of the Associated Columns is giving me an error and I cannot figure out why. See picture:Calendar Issue.png

On the left, clicking "Validate Data" shows an issue: it says that it was expecting a one-to-one relationsship between Fiscal Year and Relative Fiscal Year. However, as you can see in the table, it is a one-to-one.
Both fields are defined as Whole Number.
Any idea? Thank you.
Sebastien

Hi. Thanks for the reply @grazitti_sapna .

Having multiple rows with the same values shouldn't be an issue, as long as each Fiscal Year value has a single Relative Fiscal Year value and, vise versa, each Relative Fiscal Year value has a single Fiscal Year value.  
A similar pair that works just fine -- and you can see in my previous post -- is the Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Quarter Numeric.
@archuleta28 , my Calendar table -- with Relative Fiscal Year selected, showing its expression -- from which i created a custom calendar 'Fiscal' as shown in my first post:

I noticed that the expression for Relative Fiscal Year uses a measure based on this same Calendar table, and while it works fine in a regular calendar, it is maybe creating a conflit in a Custom Calendar.
I replaced the expression by the temporary one : 2007 -'Calendar'[Fiscal Year], and again tried adding the column as Associated Column. Unfortunately, same issue when i click Validate data.

Hi @sebastienm1,

 

Issue seems to be Multiple rows per fiscal year in your base table

For e.g.

You can fix it by creating a mapping table like below

FiscalYearMapping =
DISTINCT (
SELECTCOLUMNS(
'Date',
"Fiscal Year", 'Date'[Fiscal Year],
"Relative Fiscal Year", 'Date'[Relative Fiscal Year]
)
)
