Hi, @Fahad5 

According to your description, I can clearly understand your requirement, you want to unite the date column in your dataset to the Date type with the same format. I think you can first try to simply try to change the data type in the Power query to unite the date format like this:

This method works for me.

If you still have a problem, just try to create a calculated column in the Power BI like this, which can also help you to achieve this:

Date1 =

IF(ISERROR(value(MID([Date],3,1))),

DATE(VALUE(RIGHT([Date],4)),VALUE(MID([Date],4,2)),VALUE(LEFT([Date],2))),

DATE(VALUE(LEFT([Date],4)),VALUE(MID([Date],5,2)),VALUE(RIGHT([Date],2))))

And you can get what you want.

You can download my test pbix file below

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
