Date Table - Slicer not updating visuals

[tbalci]

Hello,

I have a setup with two tables:

[1] Case Data: As the name hints, it contains data for support cases. It has the fields case ID (unique), product, severity, date created etc.
[2] Date: It is a calendar/date table and has the following columns:

• Date: Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2015;01;01);DATE(2020;12;31))
• Year: Year = YEAR('Date'[Date])
• Month: Month = MONTH('Date'[Date])
• Quarter: Quarter = VALUE ( FORMAT ('Date'[Date]; "Q" ) )

The two tables are linked as Date (Date table) - Date Created (Case Data) table as follows. The relationship is one-to-many because on one day more than one case can be created:

In the report view, I created a slicer with Year and had a visual to show count of case number for that year and a matrix to show the number of cases logged for a specific product for each severity level. I checked the interactions and see that the slicer is connected to both the visual and the matrix.

The issue is, when I change the slider, the visual and the matrix is not updated. Both show only the total values no matter how the slider changes.

Can you help me see what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

@tbalci

Actually your Datecreated column is formatted as DateTime   while CalendarDate is a Date

Please see your revised file attached

Now it works

I created a new column and used this for relationship with Calendar Table

Date for relationship = TRUNC([Date Created],0)

Hi Zubair,

Thank you very much. I am testing this on my internal setup and it is working.

Just wanted to let you know that the key element in your solution is the TRUNC function. Even if I make the two columns the same format, the slicer does not work. Once I use the TRUNC function and connect the two tables, then it works.

Thank you once again.
