Matrix: Date Columns

Hi all,

 

I have created a matrix with Weeks along the columns. 

 

Action Name is the rows and a count of 'Action Ref' in the values. 

 

But the data isn't picking up the date values? Tables are joined Action Date - Date

@HenryJS,

Remove time stamp from ActionDate before joining to date table

 

ActionDate 1 = [ActionDate].Date

@HenryJS you should change the data type of Action Date column to date and that will do it.
