Date Table

Hello all,

 

I keep getting a message when setting the calendar table as date table, that there is room between the dates. What am I doing wrong?

 

this is my date table

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Why not create a calculated table like this and mark the table as date table?

Table = CALENDARAUTO()

 

 As the online document.

 

When you specify your own date table, Power BI Desktop performs the following validations of that column and its data, to ensure that the data:

  • contains unique values
  • contains no null values
  • contains contiguous date values (from beginning to end)
  • if it is a Date/Time data type, it has the same timestamp across each value

Regrds,

Frank

Hi @Anonymous,

 

there must be no gaps in the dates in order to be able to Mark a table as Date Table
