Date sort with query M

Hello everyboby, 

 

I'm a little bit disappointed as I have tried to do a "Date Sort" table using query M. I have followed the procedure described in this post : 

 

https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2016/05/30/creating-current-day-week-month-and-year-reports-in-power-bi... 

 

I have adapted this code to have date sorts I need. I have followed all the steps, but when I create my slicer to apply my sorts, it doesn't works 😞

I have made these relationships like the blog suggest. The main difference is that in the blog's "Data" table there is just a row by date, in my case, I have severals attributs for the same datatime (I have changed the type to date for visuals porpuses), it means several rows for a same datetime. I have tried to change the relationships without sucess.

Can someone give me some suggestions or solutions to solve this problem? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Daryl-Lynch-Bzy , 

 

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I have not admin rights and I can't install the External tools. 
I have found this link and after some modifications and added calculated columns, it seems to work.

Hi @ItoDiaz - I think you should consider creating a Calculation Group instead.  Chris's blog is from a few years ago prior to the introduction of calculation groups.  Here is an introduction to Calculation Groups: REDUCE the # of measures with Calculation Groups In Power BI - YouTube
