Hi Sentinel997

 

If you are a Power Bi novice then try this method ...

 

Edit your data source query table in Power Bi and click on the 1220527 column.

The click on Add column > Column From Examples.

Input 22.05.2020 i the Custome column

Repeat for a few more rows until Power Bi guesses all the other rows correctly.

It may tale a two or few attempts.

 

Please click the thumbs up and accept as solution buttons. 😀
