Power BI has some nice handling for date/time fields where you can separate the formatting from the content. I.e. a datetime can be presented as yyyy while still properly populating charts.

The Edit Semantic Field functionality allows you to choose a number of formats but misses a few very useful ones:

 

It would be great if the following options could be added:

  • mmm
  • mmmm
  • mmm-yy
  • mmm-yyyy
  • yyyy

Even better if users can specifiy the formatting strings themselves.

 

Whilst the functionality specifies Tabular-only, I assume it also works for XMLA endpoints
