Thanks

It looks like that column (Date) should be loaded from your original data, is it still present in the excel table/sheet you are importing from?

    Hi Anonymous 

    I created it on Power BI as well. It is not part of the Excel data.  So should I create it on the excel file? I was just avoiding doing this manually every month since my source is excel file unfortunately.
