Date Hierarchy level

When I create a date column, it auto create a date hierarchy with year/quart/month/day. Then I transfer the table to Date Table, the Hierarchy is gone. I manually create a hierarchy on the date column, the hierarchy level has day only, no year/quart/month. How to add year/quart/month back?

Hi @Anonymous 

When you mark the table as date table,you lose Power BI's built-in date hierarchy.To get it back you would have to un-Mark as Date Table.The other way is creating the hierarchy manually.Add Year,Quart...columns first.Then 'New hierarchy' for date column.Then add Year,Quart...columns to the hierarchy.

Quarter =
"Qtr" & INT ( FORMAT ( [Date], "q" ) )

Hi,

For Month and Year, you can write the following calculated column formulas

Year = Year(Calendar[Date])

Month = FORMAT(Calendar[Date],"mmmm")

Hope this helps.
