As an Iranian user of Power BI, I would like to see support for the Persian Solar Hijri calendar in Power BI. Power BI and DAX (Time Intelligence) functions do not currently support the Iranian Solar Hijri calendar (or any other calendar that differs from the Roman calendar in structure), so users must either add the Roman calendar and Persian Calendar tables to their model or create a complex date table (mixture of both calendars) and barely use those tables in Power BI. The Persian Solar Hijri calendar is widely used in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and some other countries, and it is an extremely significant part of the daily life of millions of people.

We believe that adding support for the Persian Solar Hijri calendar (or any custom calendars) would be a great addition to Power BI and would greatly benefit Iranian and other users of Power BI. This would make it easier for users to analyze and visualize data based on the Persian Solar Hijri calendar and would help them to make better business decisions.

Thank you for your consideration.

The existence of Persian Solar Hijri Calendar is very important for Iranian. The lack of this feature has faced us with many problems.We look forward to this feature in the future. Thank you in advance.

RE: Support the Persian Solar Hijri Calendar in Power BI

The real problem with supporting this calendar in a piece of software is that it is observation based, not rule based. Meaning you can't code the exact date and time when Tehran is going to determine the vernal equinox based upon precise astrological observations. I looked into creating a solar calendar but gave up because there is no accounting for human intervention. Code can't account for future events determined by humans so...

Just don't use the built-in TI functions, you can get the same results by not using them. To **bleep** With Time Intelligence - Microsoft Power BI Community. TI functions are generally useless with any kind of fiscal calendar as well so best to avoid them.
