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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You can achieve the DD/MMM/YYYY format by creating a new column with below DAX:
Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!
You can now apply custom date formats within Model View, without having to convert to text in query editor or via a measure.
If you need to use this in the query editor (e.g., you have additional data transformation to do with it), you can use Date.ToText(). For example, a custom column with this formula
= Date.ToText([DateColumn], "dd/MMM/yyyy")
If this works for you, please mark it as the solution. Kudos are appreciated too. Please let me know if not.
Regards,
Pat

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
@Anonymous - There are custom date formats in the FORMAT function,

Also, you can do custom formatting using Custom Format Strings:
