Making a date to behave like a date

Hi,

 

I have a date variable that doesnt get the Date Hierarchy and I need it to use Quick Measures.

 

How can I make PBI to understand that this field is a date?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

IC

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

We can create a calendar table and make it related to the fact table.

 

Table 2 = CALENDAR(DATE(2019,01,01),DATE(2019,01,31))

I need the table to be joined also by another variable and adding this date table would create ambiguity between tables.

Have you tried formatting it in Power Query Editor?
