I want custom column formula for changing date format 7/28/2023 9:10:02 AM to 2023-7-28 9:10:02 in poewrbi Desktop. How can I achieve this and the data is in Direct Query Mode.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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
