How to remove timestamp in direct query
Hi Anonymous ,
You can try copying the column (SeatDate in my case) and renaming it to SeatDate - DDMMAAAAA.
Then, outside of the powerquery editor, in the PowerBI desktop editor, I right-click on the column created by SEATDATE - DDMMAAAAA, and most importantly, in the format, I scroll and select the second option in the "Common format", called (ShortDate).
In this way I managed to get a date like "23/04/2021 13:30:45", which was only left as "23/04/2021". This allows you to continue your analysis.
You can refer to the following documents that may be helpful to you:

This does not fit into my requirement- the i created the column in DAX so the column is not visible when in power query view which is what you are pointing me to, for that resason i can not use the function you are advising me to use to remove time stap.
