DAX for Power BI videos | DAX for Power BI Part 7.3 - Single Calendar vs Multiple Calendars
Posted by Andrew Gould on 16 April 2022
In this video you'll see a couple of techniques for creating calendars to handle multiple date fields in the same data model. You'll learn how to use the Calendar function to create multiple calendars spanning sensible date ranges which is useful when your different date fields hold very different date ranges. You'll also learn how to use the CalendarAuto function which is useful when you want a single calendar to handle all the date fields in the model. If you're using a single calendar you'll also need to know how to create and manipulate multiple relationships to the same table, and how to use the UseRelationship function in measures to ensure that you're calculating the correct values!

Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:

Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:

Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):
