Date Hierarchy

Hi Experts, 

Why I can't create date hierarchy in the following date table ?

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

I understand the confusion now. You would think you would be able to do it like that. 

See below video. Also, if you need to reorder the items in the hierarchy, it can be done from the model tab.

Thanks KNP,
A question, please. The summarization for each column of DimDate table (Year, Month, Quarter, Day)  should be "sum" or "Don't summarize".

 

Regards

Set to 'Don't Summarize', otherwise, if you were to drop Year into a table for example, it would try and sum up all the years instead of using it as an attribute.

No, you used Time intelligence Auto date. I want without this option.

Download the file again. I can create hierarchy by selected columns.
