    Try going into settings in Power BI Service and make sure that you have default selected:

      Hi tex628 
      The default setting is already browser language. Is there any other solution?
      Other reports are working fine but only this report is showing issue on PBI service.

        It sounds like the date-column is being treated with an US culture somewhere in the transition from the source to service, which then results in the incorrect format when the data get the european culture in service. 

        You can try something like this: 

         

        I haven't tried it myself so i dont know if it works, but the idea is to tell service to expect an US culture and through that correctly format the information. 

        Hope this helps, 
        J

    In browser Edge, ...Ellipsis, Settings, try adding the Language of the desired date format and pushing it to the top as in the snip below.

    Any solution to this I am getting this issue now, all of a sudden. Clearing the cache did nothing. It seems like a general service issue.
