To add time in Power BI, you can follow these steps:
- Open your Power BI report and go to the page where you want to add the time field.
- In the Fields pane, select the table or data source that contains the time column you want to use.
- Right-click on the table or data source and select “New Measure” from the context menu.
-
In the formula bar, you can then create a time-based measure using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) language. Here’s an example:
time_measure = SUM('Table'[Column])
Replace ‘Table’ with the actual table name and ‘Column’ with the actual column name that contains the time values.
- Hit Enter to apply the measure. The new measure will be added to the table.
- You can now use the time measure in visualizations such as charts or tables. Simply drag and drop the measure from the Fields pane onto the visualization canvas.
