Hello,

I had that issue on the previous company I worked for, Spanish company, but had the settings for british formating, so I had to change the default settings for most of the users, I'd say that's the issue here, since power bi is just using the user settings.

One thing you could try, just for the slicers, is creating a calculated column, using Format function and "DD/MM/YYYY", I'd say it should work.

I tried in my report but found if we converted the date format via Format function, it will prevent us from using between mode in Date Slicer (because data type changed to text instead of datetime?)
