I have Excel file with date column ('Column1') format as: dd/mm/yy
and time column ('Column2') format as: hh/mm.
I need to use these columns in a chart with a new calculated datetime column ('Column3') format as dd/mm/yy, hh/mm.
( Column3 = (Table ['Column1'] + Table ['Column2'] ).
My problem: whatever i'm trying to do i can't get the reuierd format - dd/mm/yy
The format that i get is mm/dd/yy. Even when i'm getting the right format in the date column ('Column1'),
I can't get it right in the new calculated column ('Column3').
I tried to change the following:
Date format in the Excel file (Text, Date, Custom format);
Data Type in Power BI, both text and date;
Region (Location) settings in my computer;
Regional settings in Power BI (File - Options - Current file - Regional Settings);
Check and uncheck Time Intelligence Auto Date/time (File - Options - Current file - Data Load);
I also tried to split the date column, arrange the new columns in the desired format and merge again.
Nothing works.
My question: is there a solution through DAX or Power Query to set the desired date format regardless of the
the regional settings of the source file/computer or the Power BI Locale?
Thanks
