hi 

just for practise i downloaded healthcare dataset from kaggle  

 

suppose table1 is the name of table

there is only 1 excel sheet and in that there are 2 columns of date. 

1) date of admit 

2) dischage date

 

now i create another calendar table and add year month and day and date (2019 to 2024) columns

 

now how i idenltify reationships? like  calendar table date column to link with which date column in  table1 .. and what relationship should create ?

 

help needed

  • Hi rebam12 -If your primary focus is either admissions or discharges you can derive the relationship between calendar to admit date or discharge date as follows

     

    Calendar[Date] → Table1[date of admit] (if focusing on admissions)
    Calendar[Date] → Table1[discharge date] (if focusing on discharges)

     

    suppose you need to provide analysis with the inactive relationship is typically marked with a dotted line. You can then use DAX to activate it when needed using the USERELATIONSHIP function. highlighted.

    Active Relationship: Calendar[Date] → Table1[date of admit]
    Inactive Relationship: Calendar[Date] → Table1[discharge date]

     

    Hope this helps.
