How to Convert Date Formats in Power BI Service

We would like to show dates as "mm/dd/yyyy" but Power BI Service is showing them as "yyyy-mm-dd". Is there a way to convert this from within Power BI Service editor?

    Hi CUDataAnalytics ,

    I think you can use model view in Power BI Service. You can go to Settings for the workspace. Select Advanced > Data model settings. Check the option Users can edit data models in the Power BI service (preview).

    Then you can go to the report and click on the Open data model and change the format.

    Finally you will see what you change in the report.

Hi CUDataAnalytics ,

Your solution is great, GilbertQ. It worked like a charm! Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.  

I think you can also use DAX to create a formatted date column.

Measure = FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Date]),"MM/DD/YYYY")

Then I publish it to the Power BI Service.
