Import Locale Changed Automatically for Production PBIX file
Hi abksharma ,
In my testing, I did not reproduce your problem.
Since the computer's region format affects Power BI's date and number formatting.
The tests and results are as follows:
- I updated Power BI Desktop on both region English(India) and non-English(India) computers and the Locale for import setting does not change, it remains English(India).
- When I open a pbix file on new computers in English (India) and non-English (India) regions, the locale for import doesn't change, it's still English (India).
If this issue is important to you, it is recommended that you submit a support ticket for further support.

HI MSFT team
I am able to reproduce this in my local enviornment.
Windows 11 Enterprise / Dell Latitude 3430 / Power BI Version: 2.139.2054.0 64-bit (January 2025)
- Save the Import locale [en-US] and system datetime settings [en-US] Region [en-US]
- Save and do not [apply changes], Save & Close Pbix file
- Restart Computer
- Change the Computer setting [en-Singapore] and system region settings [en-Singapore]
- Open Pbix file the Import locale changes to Singapore (instead of US format) - BUG
Thanks
