Date Formatting

[msperri]

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent date columns changing date format?

I am having an issue with Power BI automatically changing the date column to mm/dd/yyyy when I want it to remain dd/mm/yyyy. I am using an Excel spreadsheet as the data source (which I have formatted as dd/mm/yyyy.

Many thanks,
