Requirements to Use Time

Intelligence Calculation in DAX
In order to use any time intelligence calculation, we
need a date table. The Date table must satisfy the
following requirements:

● All dates need to be present for the years required.

● The Date table must always start on January 1 and

end on December 31, including all the days in this

range.

● If the report only references fiscal years, then the

date table must include all the dates from the first to

the last day of a fiscal year.

● There needs to be a column with a DateTime or Date

data type containing unique values.

● The Date column is often used to define relationships

with other tables.

● In case the column also contains a time part, no time

should be used – for example, the time should always

be 12:00 am.

● The Date table must be marked as a date table in the

model.
