dates fields from calculated table shown in a different way

I have a table with 2 date fields:

df123445_1-1729675523753.png

there are no null values in both fields.

 

I'm creating a calculated table with: 

Distinct recs= Summarize('main data', 'main data'[name],'main data'[FINAL EXP],'main data'[document_create_date])

 

but for some reason the fields are seen in a different way in the new "Distinct recs" table (I've renamed the fields):

 

df123445_2-1729675756747.png

 

both fields types look the same:

df123445_3-1729675968423.png

 

Anyone has seen this odd behaviour before?

TIA

Hi @df123445 

 

Are you meaning why does created not have the Auto Date/Time field generated?

If you have joined on this field to say a Calendar table that will have turned it off.
