Mix of US and UK date formats in one column

[Rob12345]

Hey, 

I am working with some date about sales but some of the dates seem to be read incorrectly in power bi. The data should be in the uk date format but is displaying in the US format. So for example, July 12th is showing as 07/12/2022 instead of 12/07/2022. Other dates in the same column are displaying in the correct format so it doesn't seem as simple a fix as changing the locale. Does anyone know how I could fix this issue?

Thanks guys

Hi, @Rob12345 ;

In power query, you could change the format .

1. right click.

2.

The final show:

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

What's the data source?  
Powerbi is consistent with data since a universal set of transforms are applied but I have seen some strange things happen with Excel sources where Excel properties persist.

Can you show a picture with examples of it going wrong?
