Date Display Formats

Using Power BI Desktop to create reports and charts. What is the syntax for displaying dates in specific formats. For example, "01/25/2015" instead of "Monday, January 25, 2015". Etc. Thanks!

is it possible to create your own custom date format?

I dont want the full month name, but just the abbreviation of the month. 

 

for example January 2018 should be Jan 2018, at the moment its saying (MMMM, yyyy) but can i somewhere change it to MMM, yyyy?

 

best regards
