Hide local date table in PBI analyze with Excel

AO_Monica_0-1727329024988.png

Hi,

 

When I connect to PowerPlatform data to create a pivot table from the existing PBI dashboard, I started seeing these localdate tables showing in the excel pivot table.

How do I remove/hide these localdate tables?

Hi @AO_Monica 

These are generated by Power BI using this setting in Power BI:

You can turn this off Globally or for the Current file only.


If you are turning this off make sure you have create a calendar table to use in your date time calculations.

You can see here my two date columns in PBI have the auto calendar tables turned on:
