display INT as a well formatted date SSAS?

I have my Fact table with the below column:

ovonel_0-1659538607188.png

 

 

When I display it in a matrix visual, in my pbix I get this:

ovonel_1-1659538619827.png

 

 

 

 

But in SSAS I see it as:

ovonel_2-1659538857303.png

 

 

 

 

How can I display it in a nice dd-MMMM-yyyy format?

 

 

 

Ps: the table comes from a ‘sql server’ source with INT data type.

Hi, @Anonymous 

For now, it is not possible to modify the column value in SSAS through PowerBI.

Please consider copying another table column in SSAS and changing its data type to Date.

@Anonymous , open power query, and on the first step of change type, try to overwrite the data type as date.

 

Click on that step and change datatype, it will ask for replace->overwrite step, use that

I can't change the source.

Furthermore the column is used in a Relationship to connect. Therefore I believe it must be a 'whole number'

@Anonymous , please click on column and share column tools properties to chee=ck
