Hi guys,
I know this is a subject much talked about but I cannot figure out where i am going wrong.
I have created a table for my master calendar and I've created specific tables which contain the UniqueID and the date. I have then tried to join these dates onto the master calendar table but for some reason this is creating a loop! Screenshot of the table layout is attached which should make this clearer..
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Try having a Master Calendar for your Orders Entered and another master for Returns.
You can have multiple Master calendars to link to each Date fields you have in your table.:
have a bit of reading on the link:

The only thing is. What if I have two tabs in my document and I want to create list boxes for the Day/Month/Year. What i want is if you choose items in the list boxes i want them to link to the other tabs.
Does this makes sense?
Hi Jamel,
you might want to try creating either a concatenated fact table, or a link table. There are many resources on this site to help you do this. You then can link the calendar to a single field in your concatenated fact or link table.

in that case, you can try Canon Dates:

I try to think of a Master Calendar as a Lookup table for the specific date field attached to it.
so it should be exclusively linked to one field.
