Issue with Day Of Week not calculating correctly

Probably a newby questions-But since I am a newby that is ok, her goes.

 

I have created a Date table and created a relationship with a "Date Requested Field", This field contains date and time and is formatted as a Date/Time field. 

 

Whenever I use the  DayOfWeek field from my Date table only dates that occurred at 12:00:00 AM are counted, all others for instance those with 01:00:00 AM or any other time other than 12:00:00 AM are counted under (Blank), any ideas?

I am guessing that you have your "Date Requested Field" linked to your "Date/Time" field in your Date table and your Date table is the date with the time of 12:00:00 AM.

 

Generally, the way to fix this is that in your fact table with "Date Requested Field", create a new column like:

FORMAT([Date],"mm/dd/yyyy 12:00:00") 

And then use that to relate the two tables. Basically, you need a key between the tables so that there is always a match in your Date table. Lots of different ways to go about it, but that's what is going wrong.
