Embedded Timezone issue
" the locale is set by the rendering server and not by the client's browser. "
Not according to the doumentation. The client's browser settings override the Powr BI service settings. Supposedly.
Thanks Ibendlin,
I think that is not what happens when embedded. my supposition is that when it is embedded the embedding is being pre-rendered in the server, the iFarme is loaded in the server and getting locales set at this time and forwarded to the client. I am not being able to have the client's locale work with nothing I have done.
HI datamonitrix,
For the language and report UI parts, they should be recognized and rendered by client user locale settings.
Notice, these analysis steps do not include timezone transform, power bi service will clean up the timezone to convert these DateTime values to UTC format.
If you want to keep DateTime values with locale, I'd like to suggest you create a calculated column in your table to manually calculate fixed DateTime values based on specific date timezone offset. (power bi service convert to UTC steps will be balanced by these offsets)

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try your solution but I think that this will not work, I have multiple tenants in different countries and TZ's column could be calculated for a specific country but would not be dynamic to all different timezones.
Thanks
IanHI datamonitrix,
Ok, perhaps you can try to submit an idea to add features to support this requirement.
