I am bringing in data from an Excel spreadsheet that includes dates. The Power Query Editor recognizes the date column - Visit Date - as a date in applied steps.
Once the query is applied, the Visit Date field in the Fields selection area does not show a Date icon.
When trying to write a measure using [Visit Date].[date], it does not recognize the field as a date and an error is received.
Aside from making another custom column from the data, is there any way to make this field be recognized as a date in the Report area? Thanks!
This might be caused by the relationship.
When you have a date, Power BI automatically generate different views for different time hierarchies. But when you have a connection between tables (using date format) what happens is that the main date (table in which you have the one in one-to-many relationship) is the one that get the date hierarchy icon.
It will be a date. Check the datatype of the column in powerbi front end.
Either you have switched off auto date/time settings OR there is a relationship with a date in a different table (and THAT date has the hierarchy).
All standard behaviour.
We always advise using a date dimension.
