Formatting grayed out (mm/dd/yyyy showing up with m as 0, can't fix)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Something has caused certain date measures to reflect mm/dd/yyyy as 0/dd/yyyy.

When I selected my measure to tinker with the formatting, I get a grayed out menu.

Any advice on how to get the month number to show back up?

Thanks,

Ben

I worked with MS support yesterday.  It turns out that the issue was caused (somehow) by the addition of a calculation group in Tabular Editor the other day.  I had added the time intelligence calculation group (that both SQLBI & Guy in a Cube used as an example) and it affected my sales table in the way I described (as well as removing some of my formatting from Desktop when published to Service). 

Not sure why those problems happened, but wanted to leave this note in case others ran into it: I deleted the time intelligence group from the Model view and everything went back to normal.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and help,

Ben

Hi @Anonymous ,

What's the data type of the Depletions[Date] column?

Are you sure it is date type?
