When I link a table with attribute [date appointment] to my data table, a lot of data gets lost somehow. I've done this with other tables too, but nothing gets lost there. With link to data tabl...

Anonymous , Not very clear. Your date appointment table might have timestamp, that can cause date join to fail

create a new date column like

Date = [date appointment].date
or
Date = date(year([date appointment]),month([date appointment]),day([date appointment]))

Hi,

This is what I have right now:

Datum =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (DATE(2000,1,1), DATE(2025,12,31)),
"DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
"YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),
"YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),
"MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
"MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),
"DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
"DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),
"Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"WeekNumber",WEEKNUM([Date]),
"Year WeekNumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Week" & WEEKNUM([Date])
)

  Anonymous , I think the problem is there with the date appointment has timestamp, Change the data type to datetime and choose a format with time, if you see any other time than 12 AM, it means there is a problem
  
  Refer I discussed why Time intelligence fails

    Hi amitchandak, I had [date appointment] in Power Query as date, not timestamp. So it probably shouldn't be that.
