Changing value types in power bi
Hello Everyone,
I have an interest rate table which contains years and according values. In my year column there are only years like (2017, 2018). The data type of this year table is decimal number and while adding this table to the axis of the line chart it gives me mixed year hierrarchy. So, I know I shoul change the data type of year column to the date type but whenever I try this I get years like 1905/1906.
Can anyone knows how can I deal with it?

Try steps as below:
1.chose field "year " and right click to choose "new hierachy"
2.right click field "Quarter" to choose "add to hierachy" ->"Year Hierarchy"
it will show as below:
3. Then click "..." in visual to choose " sort ascending " ,"sort by Year Quarter"
4.The result will show as below
If I misunderstand something ,please let me know.
