Excel Analysis - date vs. text

Hello world,

is it possible? It was working, date in power bi formated as dd.mm.rr was the same in powerpivot in excel (via excel analysis). But now it is not? It is formated as text. Do you know why? What shall I do?

Thanks,

Radka

Hi @RadkaJanska

 

Could you provide the screenshots of your issue?

And check for dirty data in your column.

 

If you still have some question, please don't hesitate to let me known.‌‌

Hi @RadkaJanska 

 

What happens if you try and export from Power BI Desktop does that work as expected?

Hi @RadkaJanska 

 

Can you confirm that you have got the data type set correctly on your column?

 

If it is a measure make sure that this is set to Date in the data type too?

Hi @GilbertQ ,

the data type in PBI is set correctly. It is not a measure, just column. I also set format date to cells in Excel, but it did not help.
