Struggling with two datasets

[karelstoel]

Hey,

I am struggling with connecting two datasets. The datasets were I am talking about is data from 2017 to 2020 (offline - excel file) and data from 2021 (online - Business Central). I would to have them in one column in the report part so I can make a slicer for the period 2017-2021 (and other selections). So this is data that I would like to see below each other (total 'Invoice - billed'), and NOT connect per row (by order number for example).

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards, Karel

@karelstoel , based on what I got. Create a date table. Join both these tables(data set with) common date table. Have year, month, qtr etc in date table.

use this common table to analyze data together

if needed create a combine measure 

sum(excel[Invoice Billed]) + sum(online[Invoice Billed])

@karelstoel If in your datasets all columns are the same then just append two tables in Power Query.

Hi @karelstoel 

click "New Table" and enter the following code:

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

You then need to connect the tables and you are ready to go. 

For more enhanced slicing, please refer to

Power BI date table: create using DAX - YouTube

Best regards

Does that help? If so, please
