Hi @sarvesh23p ,
Did you get any error message when change the data type for date column? As you can see the below gif, it can display normally when change the data type of date column as Date type....
And you can create a calculated column as below to get a date type column and delete the original date column...
Ndate = DATE ( LEFT ( 'Table'[date], 4 ), MID ( 'Table'[date], 5, 2 ), RIGHT ( 'Table'[date], 2 ) )
Best Regards

Hi
I think, your text-type column shoul be in form of date (such as yyyy/mm/dd, mm-dd-yyyy,...) to power bi can understand and convert it to Date type. In your case ,you should insert Forward slash "/" to seperate year/month/day. Then you can convert it to date type.
You can do that in Power Query by Sample Columns function, or InsertText.
