Date Display Formats

Using Power BI Desktop to create reports and charts. What is the syntax for displaying dates in specific formats. For example, "01/25/2015" instead of "Monday, January 25, 2015". Etc. Thanks!

    click on the time field in your model then you can click on Modeling in the Desktop ribbon and pick the desired date format

Pieter Your screen grab shows the "Query Editor" - after you "close & apply", click on "Modeling" in the header. Under the "Formatting" header do you have "Data Type: Date" and a selected format?

This is the model layer, you need to explicitly define the format there as well.

Hi

 

We are having similar problems. There is no option for formatting English dates (dd/mm/yyyy) in the moddelling section of the ribbon..

Does anyone know how to get dates to format like this?

All our slicers are showing dates in US format where as in the tables, the dates are in UK format.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Josh
