No table marked as date table

"No table marked as date table" is one of the modeling checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. The model has a calendar-like table but none is marked as a date table. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Table tools → Mark as date table on the calendar table, using its unique contiguous Date column.

What is detected

The model has a calendar-like table but none is marked as a date table. Power BI then relies on auto date/time hierarchies or silently mis-computes time intelligence.

Why it matters

Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.

How to fix it

Table tools → Mark as date table on the calendar table, using its unique contiguous Date column.
