Date required instead of datetime in report from Fabric/Datawarehouse

I am trying to make a dashboard using a datawarehouse dataset. The dataset has a date type set as only date (not datetime). However when I add it to my dashboard table visual I get a datetime format. 

 

Because it is from the datawarehouse the column tools are all disabled. I can only create measures without creating a local model.

How do I get it back to a date format - do I need to create a text field to show this information?

@PowerNewUser OK, well, you could create a measure like this:

 

Measure = 
  VAR __Date = MAX('Table'[Date])
  VAR __Result = DATE( YEAR( __Date ), MONTH( __Date ), DAY( __Date ) )
RETURN
  __Result

@PowerNewUser You should be able to just adjust the Format for the column to only display date instead of datetime.

It is set as date in the source (with power query) and column tools are disabled so i cant modify the format there (see the screenshot). I cant even modify from the model screen.

@PowerNewUser What about changing it here:

Wait, are you Live connected to the data warehouse? (SQL Server Analysis Services)?
