broken relation with date dax table

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a dax table as follow

Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2018,1,1),DATE(2030,12,31))

And a fact table with sales and report repiod (multiple with same time/date).

I made a link one to many but it seems don't work.

If i call values from calendar it doens't compute values (report time).

Whant i can do to fix this ?

Regards.

You really need to post an image of your model. You should not need USERELATIONSHIP. It is not clear if [report period] is a date. You should not be using the fact column inside SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR

Hello Matt,

It doens't works even if i force the relas if i force this column usage.

I have simply changed the date on both sides to DD/MM/YYYY to test it.

Maybe i am doing wrong ? Total YTD LY return me an error with the following code:

Total YTD =
CALCULATE (
SUM(Report[Revenue USD]),
DATESYTD ( Report[Report Period] ),
USERELATIONSHIP (Report[Report Period],'Date'[Date] )
)

Total YTD LY =
CALCULATE (
[Total YTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Report[Report Period] ),
USERELATIONSHIP (Report[Report Period],'Date'[Date] )
)

Error Message:
MdxScript(Model) (56, 17) Erreur de calcul dans la mesure 'Report'[Total YTD LY] :
La fonction « SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR » attend une sélection contiguë quand la colonne de date n'est pas unique, est discontinue ou contient une partie heure.

Thank you for your reply,

i modified the code for both measures but i have the same amount for Total YTD LY and Total YTD (i should have less for YTD LY):

Total YTD =
CALCULATE (
SUM(Report[Revenue USD]),
DATESYTD ( Report[Report Period] )
)
Total YTD LY =
CALCULATE (
[Total YTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date] )
)

(I put some blank on other fields)

Report period (each client has his report with the same report period for each month):

I finaly added a segment with the Report[Report Period] and it works @MattAllington  !

I wonder how ? Did it regroupe the report ?

Split the date/time column in the fact table into 2 columns, one for date, one for time. Then join on date
