Date hierarchy on column

[aas_nordea]

Hi,

I have a model with a date dimensjon table connected to facts, but I also have an agreement dimension table. The agreement table has a opening date column which I would like to use as a filter/slicer. But when I do I would like to quickly choose spesific years and or months, without having to click on each individual date. I would like to do this without having a relationship or using TREATAS to the datetable because I still want that as a separate filter.

Can anyone help me solve his? Do I have to create year, month columns in the agreement table? I have access to Tabular Editor if that helps..

Regards,
Anders

Hi @aas_nordea,

Please change your [Agreement Effective Date] data type to "Date" in the column tools, and then you should be able to see automatic date hierarchy which you can put them into the slicer. 

If you don't find automatic hierarchy for your date column, please try to tranform it in the Power Query editor or refer to below artical: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Community-Blog/Why-there-is-no-date-hierarchy/ba-p/2266682
