Solved! Go to Solution.
People, I think I could end up with a solution. I remember one of my last posts in this community, "How to Add a Custom Column Date like (01-01-16, 01-02-16, etc).
The solution was provided by @hohlick:
= Text.From([DAY]) & "-" & Text.From([MONTH]) & "-" & Text.From([YEAR])
So thinking about it, I have add four custom columns:
[Day] = 01;
[Month] = Date.Month(OriginalDate);
[Year] = Date.Year(OriginalDate);
FullDate = Text.From([Day]) & "-" & Text.From([Month]) & "-" & Text.From([Year])
So, I think this is far from the best solution, but it returned the desire outcome I was looking for.
If there is another way to get the same result, please let me know! 🙂

Hi Jaderson,
If your original column is of data type date, you can use:
NewDate = DATEADD(Table[OriginalDate], -1*DAY(Table[OriginalDate]) + 1, DAY)
If your original column is of data type text, you can use:
NewDate = "01" & RIGHT(Table[OriginalDate_String], 6)
HTH,
Jessica
DateFormat = FORMAT([Date],"dd/mm/yy")
Assuming your date is coming in as a Date.
@bajimmy1983 If you want to convert your column (follow the BLUE steps) if you want to create a copy of your column (the RED)
