Helper IIConverting Date Text to Date format
Hi I have a column consisting of due dates, but it is in text format. How can I switch it into a date format on power bi?
It will not let me simply just change the data type into a date. Thank you.
Hi abeirne
In Power Query, select that column and set the DATA TYPE to DATE. Make sure the format of your date is dd/mm/yyyy, otherwise you will face with error.
