@Analitika , 

 

I don't think you can change the Date to Quarter format in Column tools. You have touse either Mquery or Calculated column.

@Analitika , I doubt there is an option for that. It comes based on regional settings.

 

You define your own format using format options refer:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-custom-format-strings
