How to add Half year date column in date hierarchy (continuous date type)

[irenelitw629]

Hi,

How can I add "Half Year" to the date hierarchy? I want to enable the trend line so it needs to be continous date type.

Ideally the trend line chart can drill down to Year. Half Year, Quarter 3 different hierarchies

I tried to create a column using below DAX but it is text type and my trend line disapear...

Half Year=YEAR([Date])&" HY "&ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/6,0)

Thanks!

Hi  @irenelitw629 ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated column.

Year =
 YEAR('Table'[Date])

Half Year =
YEAR([Date])&"HY"&ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/6,0)

Quarter =
"Qtr"&" "&QUARTER('Table'[Date])

Month =
 FORMAT('Table'[Date],"mmmm")

Day =
 DAY('Table'[Date])

2. Check [Date] - click on the three ellipses - Create hierarchy.

3. Add [Year], [Half Year], [Quarter], [Month], [Day] in a customized order - to the created date hierarchy.

4. Result:

Create a slicer with a date hierarchy, and a Visual with the [Date] column as the primary, so that the slicer can hierarchize the Visual
