Custom Data Table Not Working

In order to add Week to date hierarchy, I create a table and add four columns. Then I create the hierarchy and add them to it.

I mark the table as a date table and add a relationship with the "export" table.

This table isn't still working like the auto date hierarchy in the "export" table. Anything is missing?

Hello @kobe ,

 

can you try cinverting both columns into date type.

 

the date in export table is should be converted to date type in power query.

It's working when I create the custom date hierarchy in the "export" table. 

Hello @kobe ,

 

can you make sure that both date columns have the same data type, like both date .

 

and make sure the the export table has the same data type in power query.

I confirm both columns have the same Data type which is Date/time with the same format. When I create the custom data hierarchy in Date Table, the auto-generated one in the export table disappears. 

 

I create a custom one within export table and it's working but the order of date legend is sorted.

Just to double confirm that you mean converting data type of both conlumns from "Date/time" to "Date"? Anyway I will try it tomorrow.

@kobe , Yes.
