Time Dimension Table

[BishwaR]

I have a Time Dimension table from 2019 through 2020. But my fact table does not have a continuous date. So when I use the Time Dimension in the date slicer it shows all the dates which are not even present in the fact table. As a result I get some blank results in the visualization. My question is how can I sync the dates in Time Dimension and the fact table so that every date in the slicer returns a record. Thanks

@Jimmy801  Thank you for the quick response. When I tried that I realised that my fact table does not have the continous time line. It jumps the date. And when I use the time dimension table in the slicer it gives a continous dates and some dates returns blank valuse in the visualization becuase there is no corresponding date in the fact table

Hello @BishwaR 

therefore I wrote you should create your time dimension out of your time-column of your facttable. Then your dimension contains only dates from your facttable

Hello @BishwaR 

you could create the time dimension table in power query, using the distinct values of your table as a starting point. Then adding other information as week number or whatever you need
