Relationship between date table and data table (with null date)
Hi guys,
I have 2 tables INVOICE and DATE
Date table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
calendar(min(INVOICE[INVOICE DATE]), EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)),
"MonthNum", MONTH([Date]),
"Month", FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"),
"Year", YEAR([Date])
)
there is a relationship between INVOICE and DATE (* ...1) by the field 'INVOICE'[INVOICE DATE] and 'DATE'[Date]
for a unknow reason, [INVOICE DATE] can have value NULL. Let's admit it's possible.
I always used my 'Date' table in filters, formulas, etc
I have some question :
1) Do you think what I have done is correct ?
2) when I put the 'Date'[Date] in the page filter, why there is null value (VIDE) in the list. There is not null value in my date table
3)I made a table with the hierarchy of the date table and the 'INVOICE'[N° Invoice] to count the number distinct of invoice, there is 49673 for date = null
but when I checked in the data tab and I filtered 'INVOICE'[Invoice Date] = null, there is only 6469 line. There is a inconsistency
Can you tell me what I did wrong ?
Thank you

Anonymous , I think there are missing date, try like
ADDCOLUMNS( calendar(min(INVOICE[INVOICE DATE]), EOMONTH(Max(INVOICE[INVOICE DATE]),0)), "MonthNum", MONTH([Date]), "Month", FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"), "Year", YEAR([Date]) )
