Hello everybody
As showed, Date Column is a Date but I cant's use it as a date in visuals. The source shows it correctly and In other PBI the field is also showed as a date. What is the problem?
Thank you

I followed both steps and it doesn't work. I just duplicated the column in power query and now it works with the new one

Thank you @MAwwad
It looks like the issue you're encountering is related to the data type of the column not being recognized as a date by Power BI.
To ensure that Power BI recognizes the column as a date, you can try the following steps:
Once you have completed these steps, the date column should be recognized as a date by Power BI and you should be able to use it as a date in visuals.
If the issue still persists, you can also try changing the data type of the column directly in the "Fields" section by right-clicking on the column and selecting "Data Type" > "Date/Time".
