I have a MonthYear column. Data comes from CSV like this:
When the column type changes from text to date, it turns into this:
How can I turn it into "date", but preserve the Month-Year formatting?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Before you change to type, add a replace values step and replace "-" with "-1-", and then change to Date.

Genius! What didn't i think of that? 🙂 Thank you.
I tried the first option.
1. If I keep it as text, I cannot use it as a date picker in my report.
2. Not sure how to use DAX in my Power Query. Is there a way to format in the same step where the data type changes? Because formatting after the "Change Type" step doesn't make sense - the date is already wrong.
By default, it will show as dd-mm-yy. I think there are two options - create a duplicate column and keep that as a text format, or use the FORMAT function in DAX to format the output of any measures you want to display.
