Date Issue - UK Dates but outputs as US

Hi All, 

 

I have a power bi report that has multiple dates. The dates look find in the Desktop  (Image 1) however, when publishing into power bi service some dates come out as UK fine (Baseline Date and Forecast Date) and the others convert to US dates ("Completion Date Column")

Things i have checked:

  • Regional Settings in Power Bi set to UK
  • All three date fields are set to "Date" format and come from the same source
  •  All dates are formatted "(dd/mm/yy)"
  • I have removed and re-added the field to the list

 

Thanks

Sam
