Merge date columns from different tables
I have 2 different tables
1. Incidents
2. observations
Both have date fields
1. Incidents - Incident date
2. observations - Created Date.
Currently I am maintaining 2 date filters to filter incidents and observations. I want to merge date columns, so I can have one date filter.
Hi Anonymous ,
You can create a Date table, then use this Date table to create a relationship with your two tables.

I tried doing that, when I tried creating new relationship, Hierarchy in existing date columns disappears and creating new hierarchy doesnt works out.
Hi Anonymous ,
This is the case, and accordingly, you can use the hierarchy in the Date table.

Hi,
Create a Calendar Table by going to Modelling > New Table. Build a relationship from the Date column of both Tables to the Date column of the Calendar Table.
Hope this helps.

"Relationship from the Date column of both Tables to the Date column of the Calendar Table", can u explain tis further?
