I currently have a SQL datebase that is using text for dates. I need to change this column to a date but i am trying to not break query folding.
Is there any work around that has been found?
Hi @ghe7549
Another choice is to use DAX formula to add a calculated column to have date type dates. This will not break query folding either.

@ghe7549 I don't think there is a way, why not to create a view in SQL server and convert text to date in the view and then use that view in the Power BI.
