Hi, I need PowerBI help. I have excel file with columns DateOfSale and DateOfRelease. It has values stored as decimal number, formated as short date (dd/.mm/yyyy). In excel is displayed correctly. When I use this xlsb. file as source in PowerBI, date is wrong, 31/1/2011 is displayed, not 04/01/2015 as is correct (for example). Advice pls how to fix this? This is file <a href=http://www.filedropper.com/test_25><img src=http://www.filedropper.com/download_button.png width=127 height=145 border=0/></a><br /><div style=font-size:9px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;width:127px;font-color:#44a854;> <a href=http://www.filedropper.com >file upload storage</a></div>
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
In the end I solved it by formatting date values as text in format "DD/MM/YYYY" in source file and when I uploaded it I added Transform text to date, this solved problem. I have tried to change regional setting, but with no result. Thanks for replaying Simon.
