Power bi connector issues with data types

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and thought of a solution.  I have a workflow that makes an excel type report and recently switched to to send to power bi server to test out Alteryx writing the dataset directly and making a report in power bi off of it.  I seem to have most everything working except it seems data types are an issue.  For instance, i have tried sending the dates which are in mm/dd/yyyy format to power bi as date, datetime, and even string.. yet when it shows up in power bi it comes out as mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM and since this is using a "live connection" there doesn't seem to be anyway to change this in Power bi since functions and modeling are disabled.  Has anyone found a way to do this?
