Converting date format from direct query

[Hudg16]

I have a date format that is in a string as:

mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00

(always is 00)

how can I parse out a new column from this just as the mm/dd/yyyy?

the data is a direct query so i cannot use power query

Select column,
In the menu above click on transform,
Go to the Date option and click on Date Only:

My apologies, the data is in a direct query from another bi dataset, thus I cannot use Power Query. Any other ideas?

@Hudg16 Oh yeah, you would need to create a calculated column or measure like:

Column = LEFT([Date],SEARCH(" ",[Date])-1)

@Hudg16 You should be able to right-click the column header and then Change type and then Date
