Change the date hierarchy

[HitcH]

Hello PBI people!
First of all, I don't have a pbix, it's just a theoretical question.

I have a field date with the automatic hierarchy (week, month, year) but I need to change it: for example I want to consider that the weeks expires together with the month, so for example I might have a week made by 2 days and the other week made by 5 days.

Or I want to calculate the weeks starting from Wednesday.

Is it possible to do that? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Check out this article I wrote that discusses custom date tables and one that I love from SQLBI which can be tweaked to meet your specific needs: http://powerbiwithme.com/2023/08/01/the-custom-date-table-edition/

Hi Audrey

If I understand correctly, to create that custom date table, the add-in is mandatory?

Hi! There's no add-in, you just need the DAX code which you can download from SQLBI (the link is in my blog post) and then you do 'New Table' in Power BI.
