There are 2 things. The data type and the display format. If you don't want time, you will need to make sure both are date and not date/time. Go into get data and make sure the data type is set to date. Then do the same in the data view so the display format is date

    hi matt,

     

    i have attached a screen shot that shows the field is set to date in the query editor and data view.

    in the report view, the field still shows a time.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    thank you

      Thanks for the clear screen shots Tracy - it is hard to "imagine" what is happening. I think Eric_Zhang or one of the MS team would have to answer this. It looks like it I could "by design" to me, but I agree it is pretty annoying g if your data type excludes time.

      Hi elz,

      I can reproduce your issue, from my point of view, it is by design and we are not able to exclude the time portion in visual level date filter. I will report this issue internally  and post back once I get any update.

      Thanks,
      Lydia Zhang

        hi lydia,
        i kinda figured that this was done on purpose, even though i don't see the purpose of displaying all of that information.
        thank you
