I have a dataset from a UK bank that includes a date column. I tried setting the timezone/locale to the United Kingdom, but the column is still not recognized as a Date. As a result, in the Data View, the column does not appear as a date type, and I cannot perform date-based operations on it.
Dataset source: UK bank
Column format: Standard date strings (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY)
Action attempted: Set timezone/locale to UK
Issue: Column still not recognized as Date
Could you advise how to make the system recognize this column as a Date?
Thank you!
Hi @Rufyda
It already shows as date type in Power Query. If the date column is on the many side of and is being used in a relationship, it won't show a date icon before it but the data type should show as date.
I have one Table 
no relationship!
it appears in power query as data but text in data visu
Hello @Rufyda ,
I could not understand. It shows date type in power query. Can you explain it more please?
If I have to guess, in Table View select the Date Joined column and in Data Type section select Date too.
