Hi,
I have a problem when using Power BI data set as source for Excel pivot table.
When adding date in the pivot table, dates are formated as text (e.g. "02/01/2019"), but in Power BI it is correctly in date format. The makes me unable to sort by date and group by month etc.
I haven't found a way to change the dateformat in my pivot table.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello,
Just create 3 new columns in your Date table : Year = YEAR(DimDate[Date]), Month et Day, in DAX, and you're good to go.
