How to have PowerBi to identify the date accurately

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I need help. I have input data from 1 August 2021 (1/8/2021) till 10 May 2022 (10/5/2022). However, Power BI has wrongly categorised some data to be in Mar 2021, decemember 2022, etc.

Appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Hi @Anonymous 

You can try this, go to Power Query Editor, remove the step (see picture below). It is an automatic type change, you can also turn it off in options.

Then 

result

i.e the date for 3 december 2021 (3/12/2021) is taken by power bi as (12/3/2021) 12 March 2021

In Power BI Desktop, see if changing the regional settings fix the date format issue. But it only works a new report, not existing, so you may have to recreate your report ( try with just a simple data table first)
