Date hierachy not working
Hi,
I have a column from a Sharepoint list that is 'Date of Enquiry'. In one report it shows as a hierarchy but in another it does not.
The one where it does not has a Calendar Table with a 'Date' field. These 2 dates have a relationship but it isn't active as it would cause ambiguity with another connection.
How do I get the Date of Enquiry column to have a hierarchy?
Thanks
Slumpig , If You create a calendar table and marked it as date table. The key date column will lose hierarchy. And the date column joined to that date will also lose that. You can create a custom hierarchy
These are the reasons Date Hierarchy can be missing

Amazing. That did it. Weird as I thought I did that but clearly didn't.
Thanks for your help.
