Hi,
May I ask and please check how is the column 'Initiative'[Year Month] look like? Is it looking like the same as 'Calendar[Year Month Name] ?
Hai @Jihwan_Kim Above image from the calendar table and below image from the initiative table
Please give a solution to rectify
Hi,
The Data type of _finalyear is alphanumeric (I assume) whereas the data type of Year_month is numeric. that is reason fo the error.
Hi,
Do not create Year Month number and Year Month name columns. Create 3 seperate columns - Year, Month name and Month number.
