Date format issue

[cham]

Hi,

I want to change the date format "Month/Date/Year" into "Date/Month/Year" format in Power BI. How can i do that.

I have an excel sheet with date column it includes all the dates as "MM/DD/YYYY" format i cannot change it in excel. Howa can i change that in Power BI.

Because when i upload that excel sheet into Power BI date column is getting as "text" I cannot change it to date field in Query Editor.

Regards,

Cham

Hi 

 Create a one variable and insert a date function and then convert the format(Date/Month/Year) according to your requirement in the Power BI.

I export CSV file into Power BI. But some dates are showing as Error. Can I know the reason for that?

Also is this formula correct? Date = FORMAT(Sheet1[Date],"dd""mm""yyyy")

This is not working for me

Hi @cham 

This formula should be correct.

Date = FORMAT(Sheet1[Date],"dd/mm/yyyy")

It is a DAX formula used in a calculated column.

Is the column with error your original data or the modified data with any transformation?

Could you share me with data in your excel for analysis?
