What if i want to use my own date hierarchy?
I defined an own date table and created my own date hierarchy. But even if i declare my own date table as PowerBi’s date table (table tools > mark as date table > …) i have only the default date hierarchy (year, quarter, month, day).
I need in addition the week of the year. And that dimension in all date fields. But I don’t get it done.
very helpful, thank you!
