    Hi ompraashkumawat ,

     

    As far as I know, calculated column by FORMAT function will return a column in text data type instead of date data type.

    I suggest you to add a custom format in model view.

    Select the column and change the format as below.

    yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss AM/PM

    Result is as below.

     

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou

    I am getting this error. Is it due to Direct Query Mode?

      Hi ompraashkumawat 

       

      Can you change it in Model View?
