    I solved my issue....

    From PowerQuery I had transported the date as a text value and transformed the text value to a date in PowerBi desktop. which caused that in some cases the day and month where swapped.

    Right now I have set the field type to date in PowerQuery and my issue is solved.

     

    Kind Regards,

I have a similar problem. I have a date value coming from an Azure SQL DB. I want to force a specific date format (dd.mm.yyyy) in PBI Service, so I load the dates into Query Editor and afterwards convert them into Text in Power BI Desktop. Publishing to the service gives me the right result, but when the dataset is refreshed, it changes to english format ("mm/dd/yyyy).

Why does this happen and what can I do? I really don't want to write a DAX FORMAT Measure for all my date columns! But at the moment I do not see some other solution...
