Date format in Concatenatex Measure
I am currently using a quick measure and it has pulled through the data i need but it has changed the format of the date to MM/DD/YYYY whereas i need it to be DD/MM/YYYY. Can anyone help?
I have searched through the possible solutions and i cant seem to get anything to work. I have also looked in these forums and any codes provided so far have caused the measure to break.
Try wrapping 'Actions'[StartDate] in lines 15 and 24 with FORMAT using the appropriate format string:
FORMAT ( 'Actions'[StartDate], "dd/mm/yyyy" )

Try wrapping 'Actions'[StartDate] in lines 15 and 24 with FORMAT using the appropriate format string:
FORMAT ( 'Actions'[StartDate], "dd/mm/yyyy" )This appears to have broken the measure and isnt accepting the dd/mm/yyyy on there
Thank you for your help though!

You're missing a comma at the end of that line. You've also changed line 27. I don't recommend formatting the sorting arguments in lines 17 and 27, just lines 15 and 24.

pls try
new measure = FORMAT([List of StartDate values], "dd/MM/YYYY")Unfortunately this appears to have kept the date the same, thank you for your support though
Apologies i think i was flustered and misread your first answer, this has worked now! Thank you 🙂
