Power BI and Sharepoint dates

Can someone provide me with help about resolving an issue I am having?

 

I am ingesting data from SharePoint with a direct connection to Power BI desktop. 

 

One field is causing me some grief which is a date field.

 

In Power BI query it shows as dd/mm/yyyy. 

 

However, when I use this in a table, or slicer in Power BI desktop it shows the full date.

i.e., 25/02/2022 in Power BI query becomes Friday, February 25 2022 in the Power BI desktop.

 

I want it to show 25/02/2022 in the Power BI desktop.

 

How can I solve this?

 

Thanks,

Matt

      Thank you so much. I realise now you have to click the field the date relates to and change under column tools.
