I got a problem in power bi where my dates in the csv file is changed when I imported the csv file into power bi

Hi @ty_34 ,

The reason for this problem is that if a flat file is imported into powerbi, it follows the default date format in the control panel.

Then, you can change Date type like blew code in Power query or change it directly in Control Panel->region.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Year", each Date.Year([#"Date (YYYY-MM-DD)"]), Int64.Type)

For more details, you can refer to below blog:

Hi @ty_34 

Thats not a problem, open  it in Power Query and transform it as you wish.
