FORMAT function, not accepting optional 3rd parameter.
I am trying to force display some dates in en-US, since my collation is different.
So; i have this code:
VAR FirstDateV =
FORMAT(
FIRSTDATE('Date'[Date])
,"Long Date"
)
I have tried many times, and whenever i try to pass the 3rd optional parameter ("en-US) it fails.
Why am I unable to pass the 3rd parameter?

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
