Date Format Locale Issue

[kewaynes]

Hi,

I have reports that are viewable by customers in several different countries. We embed these into my company's application. 

The issue I'm running into is that the dates are not changing formats when viewed in different langauges. For example, if I change my settings in our application to German, I would expect the embedded Power BI report to load with the date in d/m/y. But it doesn't. It's still m/d/y.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this or how to resolve?

Hi @kewaynes 

You can try the following methods:

• Ensure that the locale of the browser used by the service is the same as the locale set by the desktop. Or check if the language setting of the service is the same as that of the desktop.

• Modify the date format in the model view with custom format
