Datetime Hierarchy

Hi everyone!

 

I want to built area chart comparing two years by months.

But I need to show my data not only by days (30 divisions) as it shown below:

But I need to have 720 divisions (30 days * 24 hours). Not necessarily shown on the x-axis title, but when I go throw visualization it will show points not only for days, but for hours also.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The data type of your date column is DateTime? If so, I think you could create an hour column, drag it to x axis and then expand Day and Hour.

HOUR = HOUR('Table'[Date])
