I am quite a newbie on Power BI and Power Query and I have a problem on the formatting of the data.
Indeed, in my power query, my date format is 01/04/2022 which is supposed to be the 4th of January for me whereas Power Query is reading it as the 1st of April.
Do you know how could I correct that mistake ?
Thanks in advance for your time and your help
