Unable to mark table as data table
Hi, Bonny86
It's important to make sure that the calendar table meets the requirements to mark the table as a date table in Power BI. To mark a table as a date table, it must meet the following criteria:
Include unique values: Each date in the table should be unique, with no duplicate dates.
Doesn't contain null values: Make sure there are no null values in the date column.
Include consecutive date values: Dates should form a continuous sequence without any gaps.
Date/time data type consistency: If the data type of the column is Date/Time, all values should have the same timestamp.
In light of these conditions, I recommend that you first verify that your calendar meets these requirements.

Hi Anonymous I confirm that my table has all the requirements you mentioned. The strange thing is that this error started showing me a few weeks ago. I'll try uninstalling Power BI to see if anything happened with any updates. I have no idea what else it is, I was hoping someone had received a similar message
thanks
