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:
     

    Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!

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.
