Helper IHow to Sync the dates from 2 different sources
Yep, as along as your date types are date or date/time, it should work fine. Note *this* is the mode you are looking for...
Community Championlavina03 what you want to do is create a blank table in power bi desktop then use merge queries option and merge two data sources queries in third table. this will give you third query with all columns from both including dates. then simply use resource booked and resource log hours on any visual and choose any date field on x-axis. provided you have time intelligence on in power bi desktop (by default it is) you will have data by weekly, monthly and quarterly. you can also use slicer to see only for monthly.
Helper IHi ankitpatira,
Let me explain you my query:
I already have data coming from 2 different sources:
1) First Data is coming from API wherein I have 3 tables [resources], [projects], [resource booked]
2) Second data is coming from db wherein I have 3 tables [resources], [projects], [resource log hours]
The data from this 2 sources doesn't have any relation between them other then [resource email id]
3) So I created master user table to get common users from both these sources
4) Then I passed ID to projects tables so that they have common ID
5) Now the problem I am facing is I want to show stats based on projects wise say like
Project 1 for the month of June [resources booked v/s resource logged hours]

Your requriement is not clear. We have no idea on what the tables are like and what relationship among them. Please give some sample data and expected output for further advice.

I know the requirements what I have provided is incomplete. I have figured out the issue and the dates are missing in my data.
Can you please provide me some solution or formula on how to compare or get the missing dates for the following data.

To find out the missing dates, please follow the below steps.
- Create a calendar table.
DimDate = CALENDAR(MIN(sample_data[day]),MAX(sample_data[day]))
- Create a calculated table.
Missing Dates = FILTER(DimDate,ISBLANK(LOOKUPVALUE(sample_data[day],sample_data[day],DimDate[Date])))
- Create a calendar table.
