Date Hierarchy not applying to all dates

Hello, 

 

I have created a custom rolling_calendar table and have a relationship to my other table ChildJobs which has dates coming in from JobFinishDates. I put together a table using my JobFinishDates date and rolling_calendar date hierarchy and it isn't applying to all the dates. When I change the relationship from childjobs to jobfinishdates it behaves the same. 

 

I created measures to make so that my dates are inline and they are, I've confirmed that the format for all date columns is the same.

You have values displayed that include a TIME element. Therefore I kind of assume that it is a Date/Time data type. 

 I don't care about formatting. I care about data TYPE. You can have a DATE/TIME data time and value of "1-Jan-22 12:34PM" but then FORMAT it as a DATE so it shows up and is displayed as "1-Jan-22". But under the covers that time element is still there. And any TIME other than 12:00 AM will NOT match to a pure DATE data type.

What are the DATA TYPES of the columns?

Thank you ToddChitt for having me review those, the table that I am Splitting into the ParentJob and ChildJob had DATE/TIME where my ChildJobs, and JobFinishDates had DATE and that was the issue. Much appreciated

Can you show us some sample data from both the custom rolling dates table, and the table it is related to?

Can you verify that 4-Oct -22 is or is not in the dates table. 

Are both columns in the relationship actual DATE types (hint: i.e.: NOT date/time fields with a date format)?
