Hello All,

I managed to get it sorted, the reason why it was not aligning was, there was a time stamp in the dates for one and the otherone was showing 00:00:00 instead of actual hh:mm:ss. I forced it to be date, instead of Date/Time and was able to do the user relations perfectly.

 

Thanks a lot for all your support 🙂

hi  @JCK2 

In the first picture, [NC Date Opened] and [Date] are two columns, how do you keep them aligning?

If you all dates are in DD/MM/YYYY format then use this setting

or you can create new column to convert it into mm/dd/yyyy format

mid(DD__MM__YY[Date],4,2) &"/"& left(DD__MM__YY[Date],2) & "/" & right(DD__MM__YY[Date],4

Hi @JCK2 ,

Could you take another picture where you have filtered both columns on the same date?

Also can you take a picture on how the table relationship looks?
