Hey community!
Date hierarchy isn't showing for my Exit Date field. It is tied to a Date dimension as Many:1 single direction active relationship and it's the correct data type "Date" but the calendar/date hierarchy doesn't show. I have read through all the other posts about this but none of them solve my issue.
The only reason I can think this is happening is due to the table being a calculated table based off another table (also, connected to the Date Dimension). As you can see, none of my date fields come up with a hierarchy in this table. Any other ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous yes it is intended behaviour, in this case you will use date field from date table to work in your visuals.
In my original reply I mentioned if there is relationship on this field, it will not show hierarchy.

I have the same problem. I usually have a calendar table to use as a filter but somehow it is not working to filter my table. Even though I have deleted the relationship between my origianl table and the calendar table, the date field doesn't allow me to see the hierarchy.
@Anonymous can you check if under option you have turned of "Auto Date/Time", also the field on whcih you have relatonship it will not show hierarchy for that even "Auto Date/Time" is on.

@parry2k I did have "Auto Date/Time" checked under Options. I have unchecked it, and nothing has changed.
@Anonymous it need to be checked in case you want date hierarchy. Can you make sure your column data type is date?

@parry2k Whether that box is checked or not, there is no difference in this case. Data type is not the problem, as I mentioned in my original post.
@Anonymous so this column is used for relationship ?

@parry2k Yes, it is connected to the Date Dimension table I have created. Those columns are all Data Type: Dates as well. There is a Many:1 active relationship between the "Exit Date" field in the calculated table (seen above) and the "Date" field in the DimDate table. The "Date" field in the DimDate table does have a hierarchy but not the Exit Date field.
@Anonymous yes it is intended behaviour, in this case you will use date field from date table to work in your visuals.
