Rest API date hierarchy

I can create datetime via rest api, push data, it shows as pm/am (indicating it loaded data correctly).

What I cannot is create Date hierarchy, such as here https://5minutebi.com/2017/11/29/how-to-use-powerbi-date-hierarchy/. If I use excel and import data as csv, the date hierarchy is created automatically.

Any hint on how to use DateTime as Date hierarchy? Is it even possible?

@jakubpetr Date hierarchy is created at model level (not dataset level). And it's done by marking a table (typically a calendar table) as a Date Table. You should always turn off the time intelligence setting in the options of each PBIX file (option is called Auto date/time).
