HI Divya904

 

Maybe something like//

 

Date =
GENERATE (
CALENDARAUTO(),
VAR currentDay = [Date]
VAR dayShort = FORMAT(currentDay,"dd/MM/yyyy")
VAR day = DAY( currentDay )
VAR month = MONTH ( currentDay )
VAR year = YEAR ( currentDay )
RETURN ROW (
"day", day,
"short day" , dayShort,
"month", month,
"year", year )
)

Hi Phil,

 

Thanks for your reply.

Tried the same DAX calculation that you have provided. But still getting the time stamp in the slicer. 

Here is the screenshot from Desktop.

 

 

 

Thanks and Regrads,

    Hi Divya904

     

    It seems odd.  I tried to replicate it here and it works ok for me up in the web service.

     

    I've attached a simple example PBIX file that I used.  Can you upload that and see if it does the same thing?

      Hi Phil,

      Thanks for your prompt and sharing the .pbix file.

      In your Date slicer, there is time as well. Please let me know how can we remove this time, so that we have just dates in the dropdown.

      Thanks

       

      Regards,

      Divya

        I'm not sure sorry.  It's interesting that it works fine for me.  It suggests a setting in your Power BI Tenant such as region, or locale
