@waleed111  try to have the same data type for both mergeing column. First change the data type to Date/Time in both the tables and then try to attempt to merge tables.

Hi @waleed111 

Due to the type of two columns are different(Data and Date/Time)

And I think you need keep the Date/Time column, so you can add a new column with Date Only.

Then you can do merge between two same type columns.

Hi, @waleed111 , data type of columns used as key are inconsistent; so an error occurs. I think you'd split "Date-Time of manufacturing" column into Date column and Time column,

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
