Hierarchies in Tables when using Direct Lake mode

[venkatasuresh_g]

Hi 

  I  built a semantic model in fabric on Data Lake, I have a date table for which I was expecting to see Date hierarchy but I don't see one and I don't have an option to add hierarchy in on the table , is this not possible ? 

Thanks

Hi @venkatasuresh_g 

As mentioned hierarchies are not currently supported in DirectLake

Hi @GilbertQ  , Thanks for your response , When I drag year and Quarter to Y Axis it does show Hierarchy but the problem is at Quarter level it does merge Querter from all years together 

Data I have 

Visual 

Formatting in Visualization 

you can see Q1 it added 2023 and 2024 together

Hi @venkatasuresh_g 

Could you make sure that the Year column default setting is set to None and not to SUM?

Hi @GilbertQ ,

   Year column is already set to null as shown in below image 

It seems Microsoft just added Hierarchy option in Semantic model. I did not see that this morning but I see it now. 

 When I drill down from year to QTR it works fine as I did drill in to one year , when I drill in to next level using double down arrow , that is when QTR is being grouped. 

Thanks

Hi @venkatasuresh_g 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create hierarchies and use them in direct lake mode as an alternative, you can drag in the individual fields which will then automatically create the hierarchy for you.
