Power BI requires the Date column to meet all of the following criteria: The column must be of type Date (not DateTime or Text). It should contain no blanks. It must have unique values (no duplicates). The dates must form a continuous range , every day needs to be present without gaps. Even if it worked before, something as simple as a blank or duplicate could break validation.
Once the table is created: Go to Modeling → Mark as Date Table → select the [Date] column from the new table
This will guarantee a clean, valid date structure that Power BI accepts without issues.
If you're still seeing the error: Restart Power BI Desktop. Go to File > Options > Data Load > Clear Cache. Or delete and reimport the date table. Sometimes it’s just a cache/session glitch — especially if you're working on the same model frequently.
