Power BI Report - Date Hiearchy

Good afternoon I am hoping someone can please assist me.

I have connected an Excel Workbook to a Power BI report. In the Excel workbook there are 4 date columns. I am trying to create a slicer do they user can select the month (only) to display visual information. Regardless what I tried in the slicer its putting it in a hierarchy view. I have unclicked the Auto/Date Time for new files and have unticked the Auto date/time in the current file setting. I have spent hours on trying to fix this. Can someone please assist me because I am trying to show Executive Leaders this dashboard by the end of the week.,  Thanks so much!

  • Hi,

     

    Make sure you have this option selected for the attribute put in slicer.

     or just have the month selected under hierarchy

      Hi Kaviraj11,

       

      I looked in the slicer dont see anything close to the pic. I pasted a screen shot below on what I am seeing. Thank you so much for the help.

       

  • Oh i get it, You will need to create a Date Table first and then have 1 active relationship and 3 inactive relationship. Additionally, you will need to create a measure that includes function - userelationship to the date table. The slicer while use the date column from the Date Table. If you can share the pbix file, i'll be able to help further.

        Would you able to share the pbix file with sample data? I'll be more efficient that way.
