You never actually created a date column with the time trimmed. Try using DayName() or Floor() on your date column to remove the time aspect.

Hi 

As far as i know 

this expression is the cause of the issue 

Date(Date#(ORDER_TIME,'DD MMM YYYY hh:mm'),'DD/MM/YYYY')AS ORD_DATE,

you need to FLOOR your date expression because here , even if not showing you still have a timestamp 

try then 

Date(floor(Timestamp#(ORDER_TIME,'DD MMM YYYY hh:mm')),'DD/MM/YYYY')AS ORD_DATE,
