Short date via DAX?

Hi.  I've got a report that is built from a Microsoft List import.  This is a very simple dataset that captures workshop auditting results - only 9 fields in the dataset.

I work for a bigger company, and IT has locked down any ability to transform data, post import.  And I can't seem to change any settings on the Sharepoint side either.   Unfortunately the date is landing in with a full timestamp on the end - instead of 16/06/2023 12:00AM, I am hoping just to see 16 June - much easier to interpret for the intended user.

I don't appear to have many options.  Is there any way I can modify the date format via a DAX measure?  I've tried a few things (my dax skills are basic), but can't seem to make anything work.

I can't transform the data :/.  Option is greyed out.  I can only change the source. 

Looking for a DAX solution / measure, as it's the only seeming option I have at my disposal.

Oh ok @Jumper , use "DATEVALUE" DAX function, it might solve your issue

Hi @Jumper 

Just change the Column data Type to Date and don't use Date-Time
