I seem to be running into a problem I was previously having here:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Default-sort-column-of-table-in-report/td-p/63901
I thought I had it solved there but I just noticed my dates are not sorting correctly again so perhaps I'll start a new thread as my structure has changed a little from when I started that thread.
What I have:
Working in the DATA view:
I have a column (generated from the query) with Date/Time:
What I want in my table - in order to display in a report is a date pre-appended with the three letter day abbriviation. So, I created a new column called DayDateTime: DayDateTime = FORMAT([DateTime], "ddd DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm") but this seems to conflict with the display format - I can display it as Text but then it does not sort correctly.
I cannot convert it to date format because I don't seem to have the option to specify my custom format "DDD DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm" nor is that format supplied as a selection in the list. This is what I get:
Am I stymied? Can I not have the day preappended to the date? I thought I had acheived that as per my thread referenced at the top of this post but it seems I had not after all.
Thanks in advance for help/advice.
