I created a measure that returns a date. In the power bi desktop it is being correctly displayed as a date.
However when i publish the report the date is displayed as a long numeric value. Is this a known issue?
See images below.
I am using the card visual. Does this expect only a text or number? How do I convert the date to a text?
Solved! Go to Solution.
It works for me when setting Display units to Auto under Data label in the Format pane. To convert it to text, you could use FORMAT Function.
