Hierarchies

PowerBI Hierarchy.PNGHi, 

 

Hopefully a simple one.

I've created a hierarchy with a date field and a none-date field. 

I was hoping to include the automatic date hierarchy within this but can't seem to add either to either.

Thought I'd be able to drag them in and have them appear but can't. Pictures included. The ideal output is a Year, Month and Title Hierarchy.

Do I need to create seperate columns that include Year, Quarter, Month, Day to include them in the hierarchy?

 

 

Thanks,

J

@Anonymous it is best practice to have date dimension in your model and use that for date hierarchy.

 

or you can drop opportunity date and then Title whatever visual you are using and it will create drill down.
