Data language of dates

I would be very grateful if you could answer this question.

 

How can I transform the fields of the month? ( I currently have Spanish, BI destkop language ) to English, I can change it manually, but if I do so I am not ordered ( It does not follow the order of January, February, March, etc ) and when i visualize in my web browser wiht english language (power bi online) i also see it in spanish

 

Thank you in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

the language depends on the model language.

Hi @mwegener ,

 

Thank you but my problem is that my report is also created and above the dropdown you passed me in your screenshot it says that it only applies if the report is created.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

you can try this. 

1. Export your report as "Power BI template"

2. Open the Power BI template file with the free third party tool "Tabular Editor"

3. Change the Culture of the Model

4. Save the file and load it with Power BI Desktop
