I decided to learn Power BI. Idiot me thought it would be easy since I already am familiar with charts, Power Query and DAX funtions. :rolleyes: But for the life of me I am unable to create a date hierarchy that works. I tried switching the auto detection in the options on and off. Created the date table with CALENDAR, CALENDARAUTO, Power Query and importing from an Excel file with a dynamic range. No matter what I do, the months don't appear as subgroups to the years. I can either see the years or drill down to the months but then all the Januarys are lumped together in one number which is not what I want.
I then downloaded a file from one of Mike Girvins's great tutorials. Here's what one chart looks like when I open it:

But when I delete the months and then put them back without changing anything else, this is what I get:

Now I'm wondering whether some settings are the reason why my date hierarchy doesn't work. I got the app from the Microsoft App Store and have the newest version of Windows 10. Does anyone have an idea why this happens? Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
