Tablemeasure = Union( selectcolumns(Table A,"Opening_Date", Table A[Opening_Date]), selectcolumns(Table B,"Business_Date", Table B[Business_Date]), )
I created a measure using this format above but when I try to put it into a visual I get the error below. Anyone have an idea of what I might be doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you need a list of dates for a visual, create a calculated table instead of a measure :
CombinedDatesTable = UNION(
SELECTCOLUMNS(TableA, "Date", TableA[Opening_Date]),
SELECTCOLUMNS(TableB, "Date", TableB[Business_Date])
)then for the measure :
UniqueDateCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(UNION(SELECTCOLUMNS(TableA, "Date", TableA[Opening_Date]), SELECTCOLUMNS(TableB, "Date", TableB[Business_Date])))

UniqueDateCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(UNION(SELECTCOLUMNS(TableA, "Date", TableA[Opening_Date]), SELECTCOLUMNS(TableB, "Date", TableB[Business_Date])))
This is what I created but I'm only getting the Material column in the resulting table?
Can you please share your pbix file ?
Your solution worked, I just had to tweek it a bit for my situation. I accepted your solution.
