    How to retain the same date format dd-mmm-yy in Power Query

    Good Afternoon,

    Thank you for reading my question and I hope you're well.

    How do I retain the same date format ( dd-mmm-yy, for example, 27-Mar-24) in Power Query? The Power Query changes this to 27/03/2024 (I want month as Mar, not 03).

    I am new to Power Query so please if possible give me simple solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    PowerQuery uses the date format as it is in your Windows settings. It can only be done by changing dates to text: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/po...-m/date-totext
