Date format mismatch between Sharepoint list and Query

Hello:

I am retrieving a Sharepoint list into PowerBI. One of the columns in that list is a date, with format date-time.

 

In Sharepoint I see the date as "dd-mm-yyyy". But in the query and in Power BI, this same column shows as "mm-dd-yyyy". So, not all dates are imported.

 

How may a solve this problem?

 

Thank you and regards.

    Hi superjam ,

    1. Options --> Current file --> Data load --> uncheck the box of detect columns types and headers for unstructrued source;

     

    2. Or in PowerQuery Editor --> select the date column and right-click --> change type --> using locale --> Choose the appropriate date format.
