common date for 2 tables

[hussein_c]

hey everyone. i have in a power bi report 2 tables, 1 called DP1, the other DP3. both tables have a timestamp, and i want to be able to use 1 date slicer and 1 time slicer for points in both of these tables, i tried making a date table using calendarauto(), but it doesn't take in consideration the time (hour/minutes), and i need to use the time within my visualisation. is there a way around to be able to use time for both?

Hi @hussein_c - Create one common date table as below and establish relationships between your DateTime table and the timestamp columns in DP1 and DP3.

DateTimeTable =

ADDCOLUMNS(

    GENERATE(

        CALENDAR(DATE(2023, 1, 1), DATE(2024, 12, 31)),

        VAR BaseDate = [Date]

        RETURN

        ADDCOLUMNS(

            GENERATESERIES(0, 23, 1),

            "DateTime", BaseDate + TIME([Value], 0, 0)

        )

    ),

    "Hour", HOUR([DateTime]),

    "Minute", MINUTE([DateTime])

)

Add a slicer visual and drag the Date column from the DateTimeTable to it.
Set the slicer to the date format. you'll be able to use a single date slicer and a single time slicer to filter data points in both the DP1 and DP3 tables, providing a unified time-based filtering in power bi reports.

this works great @rajendraongole1  thank you! i adjusted some extra stuff within it and added a 15min time interval as well.
