I have Date in format as Date
1/24/2019 2:10:14 AM
Power BI read it as text. I want to convert it as
1-24-2019 2:10:14 AM
in single cell Date format.
I tried split, works but it change the format to
24/1/2019 2:10:14
& I also need AM which I was unable to concatenate.
Can you please try
FORMAT(datecolumn , "MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm:ss am/pm")

I have a table in Power BI with blanks and also Text in the following format "01/11/2021 00:00:00"
When I highlight this date column and attempt to convert to data type to date I get an error.
"we cannot automatically convert the column to date type".
I'm not sure what's causing it to error. I have other columns that are formatted the same and they converted no problem.
Thanks
I am new for Power Query, I want to insert a row, but this row has different data format. I used :
Table.InsertRows(_, Table.RowCount(_),{[DATE="01/01/1990", MAINACCOUNT= 00001, AMOUNT=0, Financial Year=""]})
But the DATE, I want it to be date format, the AMOUNT I want it to be number format, anyone know how to do it?
I have a very rare date format dd/mm/yy HH:mm:ss that reads in as a string and I want to transform it into a date/time format PowerBI will accept. I managed to change the format into "dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm:ss", but now I have to switch the day part with the month.
How can I do this or is there an easier solution to my problem?
Select the column of date_time and change the data type from column tools to Date/time(pic 1) and after that select the format(pic 2) from column tools
pic_1
pic_2
I have an excel file having a column with Text format values like Jan-18, Dec-19, Feb-20. I want to convert it to a date format but when I am trying to make this column a date format it printing 1/18/2021, 12/19/2021,2/20/2021. Basically its considering Jan as month(1), 18 as Date, & making all year as 2021 deafult.
Can someone help?
Original(text) After Date conversion Desired format
Jan-18 1/18/2021 01/01/2018
Feb-19 2/19/2021 01/02/2019
Mar-20 3/20/2021 01/03/2020
You can try,
DATE(2018, MONTH(convertedDate), 1)
This will convert your converted date to the first day of the relevant month in 2018. This is stored in Power BI as a datetime object. If you want to show that value in dd/MM/yyyy format you can do it by selecting correct Format in the top menu.
If you load in the Original column as text, try this trick:
Desired format = DATEVALUE ( "1-" & [Original] )
Appending the "1-" to the beginning gives it a day of the month and forces it to recognize the last digits as the year.
I faced with the same issue , while changing the format instead of using Date use the last option i.e "Using Locale... " -> in that change the Data Type from Text -> Date, and Locale to English(United Kingdom) -> Hit ok. Earlier Format ,What should be the desired format .This worked for me!
I have 2 adjacent columns in excel, each having dates in "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" format. But when I try to subtract them in the third column, it is unable to give me a numerical value, instead it shows the text "#value!" in the cell. How do I get the time difference between the 2 dates -

Then the "Dates" are text and not true Dates. You will need to convert them to true dates. My guess is that your local settings are mm/dd/yyyy not dd/mm/yyyy and as such Excel does not see them as dates
