Take control of time! Learn about the difference between date parts and date values, and how to use dates as discrete and continuous fields. Use date fields to show data across time or aggregated into categories, at varied levels of detail.

Working with Date Fields: Custom Dates

Make date fields behave exactly the way you want, every time! Learn how to use custom dates to simplify a time series analysis that you find yourself doing frequently. Create custom dates that are automatically drilled down to the continuous date value you want. Or, use custom dates that deliver only the discrete date part you were looking for. Build a hierarchy from the custom dates to control what happens when users drill up or down.
