Hi, 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood.

 

If you can see your Calendar Table (or Dates Table), 

- find a Year 

- right-click the mouse

- create a hierarchy

- find a Quarter

- right-click the mouse

- add into the hierarchy

I added a link for a short video.

 

I hope this is what you are looking for.

 

Hope it resolves your issue?

Hi @pauliuseg 

 

Download PBIX file with Date Table

 

For this you need to create your own DateTable with a column that has Year Qtr, and use that in your slicer.  See my PBIX file above for such a DateTable.  Copy the code for the Datetable table from this into your own file to create your the DateTable.  Chnage the parameters to suit you e.g. the start and end years.

Mark this as a Date Table and then make sure their is a relationship from the table to your fact table.

This is the line of code that creates the Year Qtr column

"YearQtr", YEAR([Date]) & " Qtr " & INT((MONTH([Date])+2)/3),

thanks , yes, it's both solutions, need to create new hierarchy and ten you can add as many dimensions as you want , joining them together.

thanks, i have a working hierachy, and what i can't do - to display in a bar chart Year& Quarter

i can see year, i can drill down to Quarter.

 but no Year-Quarter.

means  Y 2019  Y 2020

or Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

 

but i cant 2019Q1,2019Q2,2019Q4...

i quees i need to create new dimension including Year-Quarter column. ..

 

strange is that , that i have a file which can use Year-Quater, means show it, event usind same date hierarchy,
