Hi, @Khalid1988 

Rajendraongole1 is right, and when you change the region, the time changes. As far as I know, Europe will use the format of DDMMYY, so when we change to a European country, the time will automatically default to the format of DDMMYY. I create a sample data, the format of MMDDYY:

Then change the Region:

Hi, @Khalid1988 

A prompt appears when you change your region.

Select Apply changes, and the data will change the format.

Hi @Khalid1988 -In Power BI, the format of the date shown in a slicer is influenced by the regional settings of your report or Power BI Desktop, rather than the format of the date column in your data model. 

Go to File > Options and settings > Options.
Under the Regional Settings tab, select the appropriate Locale that uses the DD/MM/YYYY

Hope this helps.

Hi @Khalid1988 This is because of the regional settings configured by default in power bi desktop and device configurations.
