Hi Anonymous,

 

Based on my test, if I create a relationship between fact table and date dimention table based on date column, the date field from fact table will not show hierarchy when added to visual, the date field from dimention table will show hierarchy. It looks like a default setting.

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      I'm afraid there is no such an option allows us to change this default setting.
