Date Table not working with relationship
- 6 years ago
There appears to be two different places to format data.
When using Get Data and bringing in the initial SharePoint list the Date columns come as Any\Text. I had initially left it like that and made my Date table and joined them. I initally tried changing the data type in the relationship area. That didn't have the desired effect. Only after going back to the Sharepoint list data and modifying the CreatedBy column from Text to Date did it start working.
Check if the date coming from SharePoint is having timestamp in it. And it is not visible because of the format. And that is casing join to fail.
After making changes do I need to hit a button to see the data?

ComputerHabit look at the display format in the visual pane under modelling for the sharepoint date, have you previewed it in the query pane? (ie edit queries)

Nothing. No luck. I have tried various formats and changing the field to date and date\time back and forth. Nothing happens. Is there a debug button or anything?

Dates appear to be the same.

Is the relationship linking your Date field from the Date table to the "Created" field in your "Events" table?

Yes. I'm linking the Date field to the Created field.
