Probably a newby questions-But since I am a newby that is ok, her goes.
I have created a Date table and created a relationship with a "Date Requested Field", This field contains date and time and is formatted as a Date/Time field.
Whenever I use the DayOfWeek field from my Date table only dates that occurred at 12:00:00 AM are counted, all others for instance those with 01:00:00 AM or any other time other than 12:00:00 AM are counted under (Blank), any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am guessing that you have your "Date Requested Field" linked to your "Date/Time" field in your Date table and your Date table is the date with the time of 12:00:00 AM.
Generally, the way to fix this is that in your fact table with "Date Requested Field", create a new column like:
FORMAT([Date],"mm/dd/yyyy 12:00:00")
And then use that to relate the two tables. Basically, you need a key between the tables so that there is always a match in your Date table. Lots of different ways to go about it, but that's what is going wrong.
