if you are using DirectQuery mode, the built-in date hierarchy will not be available. In this case, you will need to create a custom date hierarchy manually. To do this, follow these steps:
- In the Fields pane, right-click the date column and select New Column.
- In the New Column dialog box, enter a name for the new column and select Date/Time as the data type.
- In the Formula bar, type the following formula:
Code snippet
=YEAR([DateColumn])
4.Click OK.
Repeat steps 1-4 to create columns for the Quarter, Month, and Day.
Once you have created the columns for the Year, Quarter, Month, and Day, you can create a custom date hierarchy by following these steps:
- In the Fields pane, right-click the original Date column and select New Hierarchy.
- In the Create Hierarchy dialog box, select the Year, Quarter, Month, and Day columns.
- Click OK.
The custom date hierarchy will be added to the Fields pane. You can then use the hierarchy in your visuals to filter and slice your data by date.
