Change date format from Swedish to English in Power BI desktop.

[Krish89]

Hello,

I have a date column in my Power BI report and i would like to display it in "mmmm yyyy" format. For ex: July 2020.

When i change to this format, the month name is displayed in Swedish instead of English. How do i change it to English?

I have changed the Regional settings in Power BI as well as my computer regional settings but still the month format is displayed in Swedish.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!!

Regards,

Krishna.

Once you change the regional setting of Windows you need to re-open the file again.

Also can you please confirm which language did you installed your Power BI Desktop ? It seems that format is correct but the language of PBI Desktop is swedish.
