Hi @aluk9257 ,

 

After you set the language to English for the Application and Model in Regional Settings as you showd above, you also need to restart the Power BI Desktop to take effect the change in the setting.

 

Or you may go to Query Editor, select on this Date column, right click to choose option "Using Locale", choose the English language as you need in Locale bucket.

@aluk9257 , this seems like an issue with Table data. Can open the table in model and check. Or reload the table.
