change to correct date format in power query

Ideally, it should not happen. You need to validate in Excel whether this is really 3-Jan. 

You can put following formula and see what month is coming up.

=TEXT(A2, "dd-mmm-yy")

However, to change in PQ - 

Right click on your column header in PQ - Change Type - Using Locale - Select Data type as Date here and  you can select right locale here. 

Hi pang22 

The solution Vijay_A_Verma mentioned is right, as Vijay_A_Verma  mentined, you can consider to use the Using Locale, based on the soution, I can offer some sample for you.

You can change the locale to UK.

e.g Sample data 

Select 'Change type'->'Using Locale'

Then select the option as the following pictures.

Output

If this helps, please consider to use this and the suggestion Vijay_A_Verma  as a solution.

Best Regards!
