Date Setting

[AshleeD1234]

Hi there 

I am using power BI and my date setting is in the American one which is MM/DD/YY

For some reason all my colleagues have the correct version here which is the Australian one DD/MM/YY

How would I go about changing this in my reporting? 

Thanks

Hi @AshleeD1234 You can adjust your locale settings in Power BI Desktop or modify the data format, as others have suggested. However, if the report shows the wrong culture in the Power BI Service, it follows your browser’s settings, which must be updated directly in the browser.

maybe you can try change data type using locale

Hi @AshleeD1234 , you can go into the data pane -> select the date colum -> format -> choose the MM-dd-YY format
