Duplicate week error with custom date hierarchy table
- Anonymous2 years ago
When you added the year 2024 to your table, you created a situation where the 'week' column has duplicate values (e.g., week '1' for 2023 and week '1' for 2024). If this column is used in relationships or as a primary key in your data model, these duplicates can cause problems.
Instead of using the 'week' column alone as a key, create a unique identifier for each row in your date hierarchy table. This identifier could be a combination of the year and week. For example, you can create a new column named 'YearWeek' that concatenates the year and week number (like '2023-W01', '2023-W02', ..., '2024-W01', etc.).
