Power Query Date Format Issue

Hi All,

 

I have multiple data file that I receive daily as TXT file that I upload to an excel file via Power Query. 

On one of the file the Date is as follow 30-Sep-22 which means 30 september 2022. But Power query switch the data to 2030-09-22

I import the whole folder everyday with the different file saved automatically in it and this is the only file where there is this issue. My query for each dataset is bsically a filet on the name of what is inside the folder so I can't really edit the query regional.

I tried created a column from example but it changes just the one I typed manually but the rest was still wrong. I try to pass the column as text but it stays the same when the data in the txt is "30-Sep-22"

 

Do you have any idea how I should proceed?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Seems it's related with the region setting in Power BI>Options. You can try to change it.
