Date.FromText converts into wrong format after publishing

[Anonymous]

Hello all

I have a column "QualifyingDate" with a date stored in the format yyyymmdd.

In the Power Query Editor i created a new custom column, screenshot with the code:

So it either sets the Text "Gestern" or to the date converted from yyyymmdd.

However, when looking into the dropdown slicer in Power BI Desktop it looks fine.

Publishing it doesnt change that immediately, but after some time, maybe after a refresh of the data, it changes the format to:

I tried using the "culture" parameter in Date.FromText and different Browsers. Settings in browser and power bi are set to de-CH.

PS: I think it worked lately, but i added an additional column to order "QualifyingDateForSlicer". But its only used for sorting so i dont think this could be it, or could it?

Thank you and kind regards

@Anonymous,

Date.FromText returns a Date value. You may use Date.ToText or Text.From in the else part.
