Power BI: Business calendar alignment
Month-to-date results disagree with an operations report using fiscal periods. Compare calendar tables, fiscal boundaries and cutoff times for the same transactions.
Environment and inputs: Power BI semantic models and reports; measure behavior depends on relationships, storage mode and filter context.
Failure scenario
Month-to-date results disagree with an operations report using fiscal periods. Confirm the cause before choosing a fix.
Evidence to collect
Compare calendar tables, fiscal boundaries and cutoff times for the same transactions. Record the time, affected scope and a healthy comparison interval.
Fix the confirmed cause
Apply the agreed calendar consistently and retain a reconciliation example for boundary dates. Write the expected result first. Change one relevant setting at a time.
Check the result and hand over
Repeat the check for business calendar alignment using the same scope and a representative interval. Check that the symptom is resolved, expected records are present and downstream results are correct. If coverage, correctness or latency worsens, restore the recorded configuration through the agreed rollback process.
Scope and precautions
Prefer read-only access and limit queries to the relevant period or dataset. This example has not been tested on your systems. Test changes in an approved environment. Keep credentials and sensitive data out of shared evidence.
