Is there a way to create custom date formats?

I'm looking for a way to create a custom date format as DD/MMM/YYYY but right now Power BI only supports DD/MMM/YY.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can achieve the DD/MMM/YYYY format by creating a new column with below DAX:

    Date_Column = FORMAT(Tablename[date_field],"dd/mmm/yyyy")
     
    Refer below image:

    This works but it converts the date to text.
    I want to keep the field as date wth the format "mmm/yy"
    Once it is formatted as mmm/yy as a new column I  am forced to convert to date and then am stuck with the default formats in Power BI
