Date Issue - Calendar Month Year Not populating data

Hi Experts

 

See attached sample file, when you change the filter on the Calendar to Month Year (from Date Hierarchy to Calendar month year) - shared axies you get a Flat line in the ploted Line Bar Chart, If you add all periods it works fine, the issue is drilling down to year month level.

It is good that you have a dedicated Date table in your model, but you also need to turn off Auto Date/Time in the settings for the file.  The issue is that your Calendar table is not "Marked as a date table".  Also your Date column is DateTime type instead of Date.  Once you fix those, the chart looks the same.

@Anonymous , I found few relationship issues. I saw that join of the date table is with moth year, not on date. Which I think is not correct.
