Hi Spigaw ,
I have a found a solution where you have to mark date column as 'Date' Table. Then it appers as date in excel.You can also refer this- https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/Analyze-in-Excel-feature-Date-are-not-recognized-in-Excel-file/m-p/1551413#:~:text=The%20trick%20was%20to%20%22mark,it%20then%20appeared%20in%20Excel%20!
