      Anonymous  thank you, you are very knowledgeable.

      So I download Power Bi Desktop from the store.

      Installed it, set global and regional to English.

      Opened my file, saved and re-opened again.

       

      And... some visuals do changed and some dosen't.

      I created new file, just to run a test, and it's the same:

       

       

      On above screen all visuals are on one report page and some visuals are English, some are Polish.

      How is this possible?
