Date Hierarchy does not get generated
- 1 month ago
martinmark You will have to first create the columns in the table which are required for creating the Date Hierarchy - possible in Direct Query Mode by using DAX. Then, you can use those columns to create a hierarchy as required.
Note - Use MonthNum column to sort MonthName and if you want full Month name you can modify the DAX calculation as required.
Create below DAX Calculated columns in the table in which you have created_at column -
Year = YEAR('Table'[created_at]) Quarter = "Q" & QUARTER('Table'[created_at]) MonthNum = MONTH('Table'[created_at]) MonthName = SWITCH( MONTH('Table'[created_at]), 1, "Jan", 2, "Feb", 3, "Mar", 4, "Apr", 5, "May", 6, "Jun", 7, "Jul", 8, "Aug", 9, "Sep", 10, "Oct", 11, "Nov", 12, "Dec" )💡 Helpful?

Hi Rupa01, this seems to have worked!
However, the sorting is a bit confusing... What about "Use MonthNum column to sort MonthName and if you want full Month name you can modify the DAX calculation as required." ? How do I do that?
Rupa01 , okay I think I figured this out by going in column tools and ordering by MonthNum as you suggested!
Thanks
