Hi @AtchayaP ,

There are some limitations about Mark as date table.

When you specify your own date table, Power BI Desktop performs the following validations of that column and its data, to ensure that the data:

• contains unique values
• contains no null values
• contains contiguous date values (from beginning to end)
• if it is a Date/Time data type, it has the same timestamp across each value

Please check whether your date column is contiguous.

Hi @AtchayaP ,

Could you please share the snapshot of your date table which you tried to mark as date table. For creating date table for your model please refer below article.:-

Thanks,

A date table needs to have one row per day and contain an unbroken sequence of dates.

eg if you have 1-Feb-2022 and then skip to 3-Feb-2022 you'd get that error.

• I got the dax measure for my date table , but while using it in table visual  I'm getting date and year in column, but for example if I use line chart year with other colnumn, I'm not getting the right visual,does it mean I did mistake in DAX
