Calculation with the date format

Hello,

 

I have a column with they format DD/MM/YYYY hh:mi:ss and other column with a value at that date&time. so for example:

 

Date                                   Value

30/03/2012 09:00              100

30/03/2012 10:00              200

31/03/2012 09:00              100

 

I would like to see this in my dashboards:

30/03/2012               300

31/03/2012               100

 

I changed in modelling the format to dd/mm/yyyy but the data are presented like this:

30/03/2012               100

30/03/2012               200

31/03/2012               100

 

What can I do?

    Try to create a calculated column with following formula in Reading table. And change the data type to Date.

     

    Column = 
    DATE ( YEAR ( Reading[Interval Date] ), MONTH ( Reading[Interval Date] ), DAY ( Reading[Interval Date] ) )
    

    In the table visual, use above column instead of Interval Date.

     

    Best Regards,
    Herbert

    When you create the Table visual in the canvas, the values can be summarized as below.

    Unfortunately this is not what happens to me.

    I have the column in format 31/03/2012 09:00. I just went to modelling and I changed format to 31/03/2012, but this is not the original format.
