Date Format differences between desktop and online
Hi,
I have some published report on power BI. The desktop app shows the date format in DD/MM/YYYY but when published the online versions show it in MM/DD/YYYY.
How can I correct this, I want both as DD/MM/YYYY?
Thanks
Chris
- So I managed to get it to work. Once I signed in to chrome as a registered google user it allowed me to select english in the language setting and set it to default.
Thanks very much for the help

This is a known issue in Power BI Service, the dates are displayed in MM/DD/YYYY format by default. There are ideas about this issue, please vote them up.

In addition, to work around this issue, in the Power BI settings set the Language to: “Default (browser language)” and ensure the browser is set to “English (United Kingdom)”

The fix works well in internet explorer but I cannot get it to work in Chrome.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

chydewf1,
I also can't get it work in Chrome. Since there is no existing option to change date format in Power BI Service, I am afraid that you need to use IE in this case.
