Configure the calendar type for a standard calendar

Setting Calendar Type field to Standard configures the Power BI date table to use a Gregorian month-based year structure. This structure means:

  • Standard calendar years always begin in January.
  • Standard calendar months align to Gregorian calendar month boundaries.
  • Power BI reports should use the calendar fields, such as Calendar Year, Calendar Month, Calendar Quarter, and so on.
  • You should use Standard Calendar Time Intelligence measures for period comparisons.
