Create relationship between 2 tables by using Date function on top of existing datetime column

Hi,

 

I want to create relationship between Date table (using Date field) and 1 fact table (using Datetime field) by using Date function on top of Datetime field to extract Date component and then creating relationship between both these Date fields. We can't create a calculated column since this is Direct Lake semantic model.

 

Can anyone please help on how to do this or any workaround to achieve this.

Hi, @Anonymous 

I don't think this is something you're allowed to do in the current version of Fabric, you can either add Date to the data source or change your connection
