Dates, time intelligence

Is it necessary for data to be in a date format with a date stamp, in order to use the time intelligence functions?

Would I need to convert my data from the format it is in into a date format?

RE: Dates, time intelligence

Hi Rani,

Thank you for the forum question.

Yes your dates must be recognised as dates (date formatted), and if you want to work with financial months, quarters, and years you must have a date table, if you want to use date intelligence functions.

Kind regards

Power BI tip:

Create Interactive Dashboards

Build interactive dashboards by leveraging features like slicers, drill-through, and bookmarks. Slicers allow users to filter data dynamically, while drill-through enables detailed exploration of specific data points. Bookmarks help you save the current view, making it easy to switch between different states of your report.
