Helper IChange the way a table visualization displays date
Hello power-bi-noob ,
format the date column with the datecolumn tools tab to short date.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
First, you can look at whichever app is used for the visualization and see if the formatting you want is available within that app.
PowerBI doesn't modify original content. It reads it in with powerquery and lets you adjust it how you want via transform within PowerBI only. In transform you can either adjust the original columns (which doesn't adjust the actual data where you're getting it from) OR if you want to play it safe you could just duplicate the column within the transform and format it the way you want in the new column, then use that differently formatted column for your visualization.
