Change date format in dataset table
Hi all,
I have a table with 200 date columns.
They are displayed in a long format. I'd like to have it displayed such as 26/10/2015
I know how to change the format column by column, but it will be long. Is there a way to change it all at once?
Thanks in advance!

Hi AFra ,
yes this is possible in the advanced editor.
First specify the columns you want to change the data like:
custom1 = List.Skip(Table.ColumnNames(Source),10), --> this is if you want to select column 10 onwards.
Then you can change the type of all the slected columns in custom1 by:
changetype = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,List.Transform(Custom1, each {_,type date}))
after "type" you can enter the date time you want.
