What's your type? For a beginner in Power BI and in business intelligence in general, it is not easy to understand data types and differentiate them from data format. And then comes data category... So, what's all that about, really? It's true that in spreadsheet applications like Excel, data type is not really of a bother to the user, as there is no functionality to define the type of the data present in cells. We just enter values and it's all fine (somehow). In fact, I only started to bother about data types when starting to use Power Query, Power BI and Power Pivot (data modelling tool in Excel).

Hi everyone. This is my first post (in Elnglish), and I hope you can help me. I have a table of dates with all the necessary fields ([Year], [Month], [MonthName], etc) I have another table 'Results' with records of various types (Sales, Returns, Discounts, etc; all these in a single field [Description]) and the value of each record per month [Amount].
