Date format showing incorrect in only one table

A strange one on date formats. 

 

I have several tables/queries in a Power BI file that have dates.  They are all showing correctly in all but one table.  I am in the UK so want format to be DD/MM/YY but this one table is shwoing the dates in US format.  I have checked the query and the date is showing in the correct format (and I have even added a line to set locale to UK) but the desginer windows shows the date in US format.  I am unable to change the format in the modeling tab as it only shows me US formating options.

 

I havent seen this before and am a bit stuck to know what to change

 

Thanks in advance

Paul

I have a similar issue. Althoguh formatted as UK date (dd/mm/yy) when I view my report in BI Services the slicer uses US date format (mm/dd/yy). have tried using different browsers but still appears the same.

I'v the same problem

The table I used is a calculated crossjoin of 2 tables. In the first table the datefield is formatted dd/MM/yyyy. In the crossjoin the field is formatted M/d/yyyy. I can not format it as desired dd/MM/yyyy.

I've not seen this problem yet. I just downloaded the februari update. Perhaps it's only a problem with the dateslicer?

 and a colleague too, it looks like the new update has a bug which displays dates in US format in the desktop, however it goes back to UK in the service... needs a fix

I am experiencing the same issue.

 

Did anybody every find a resolution to this error?

That is very strange behavior, particularly the fact that you don't get the other date formats in the model.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Yes it's very strange behaviour.  As an example this a table from the data showing the date from the table in US format and the date from my Date Table in the correct format.  Any one have ideas?
