Date hierarchy doesn't work with shared data source

[bbeer]

Hi,

I have a shared power bi data source and am trying to write a DAX formula utilizing the date hierarchies. 

The measure formula works in the original report, but when I try to create a new similar measure in the new report I get an error on the .[Year]

My measure is:

Change % YoY A = IF(

ISFILTERED(

'Date'[ReportingDate].[Year]

),

CALCULATE(

IFERROR(

[A % Change Year], BLANK()

), 

CROSSFILTER(

'Date'[ReportingDate],Revenue[ReportingDate], Both

)

)

)

Is it because I'm using a shared data source?

Thanks for the help,

bbeer

@bbeer, for these cases it is best to create a date table with the required column and, if necessary, create a custom hierarchy

To get the best out of the time intelligence function. Make sure that you have a date calendar and that it has been marked as the date in the model view. Also, join her with the date column of your events. Recommended:

We appreciate your congratulations.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I already had a date table in my shared source, so I assumed I could just use that one.

Fortunately, I was able to solve my problem using the Year-over-year quick measure function.

Thank you again, your links will definitely come in handy in the future!
