I am building custom Calendar in PowerBI.
For Month number I used the following formula:
Code:
=dDate[Date].[MonthNo]
I got month numbers. After creatin several more collumns I marked the table as a date table and all collumns turned to errors.

The error message i got from PowerBI: Column referebce to 'dDate' cannot be used with a variation 'Month' because it does not have any.
Similar error I got for Year column but with 'Year'.

So I rebuilt the formular in other manner that worked.
Code:
=MONTH(dDate[Date])

Any idea why PowerBI don't like the first syntax?
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
The first syntax is using the inbuilt hidden calendar tables. When you mark as date table, the inbuilt hidden calendar tables are removed. That’s what caused the change.
