Description

In this article: http://vizpainter.com/dates-in-tableau-make-me-want-to-tear-my-hair-out/
We know that there should be a DATE VALUES section in right-click context menu of Date Dimension columns.

But in kylin sample data, this section is empty, like attached snapshot.

Currently there're 2 workarounds:
1. Leverage tableau's multi-level date columns
2. Set column as discrete, and set the format as:
right click the column -> Default properties -> Date format
