Date Not Populating

Hi.  I have a fact table with a date field that I have connected to my Date table, but when I try to add the month/year field from my Date table to my table visual, it's not populating.  This is the first time this has happened.  I have many, many similar connections that work fine.  I've ensured that the date in my fact table is identified as a date, and there is a relationship between the formal Date table and the date in the fact table.  Any suggestions?

Here is the relationship.  All I want to do is to be able to populate a simple table visual with the monthyear from the calendar table.  I added a monthyear column in PQ, but would like to do it the way I always have by just pulling it in from the Date table.

I checked the relationship and even deleted and redid it.  Now it appears that there is something very wrong with all my pbix files, as everytime I go to open, they freeze.  I need to research what is happening and get back to you.

Hi @TParkins 

 

Can you check the relationship in your Data Model to ensure it's established appropriately for using it for slicers, etc?  

 

Also, are you able to provide a snippet of the visual's fields you've put together along with your data model view (if the above doesn't resolve)?

 

Thanks in advance!

Theo
