Below is my scenario:
- My Windows OS is in US
- My Power BI Global is in US
- My Current File Locale is in US (Power BI)
- The Source Excel File is in US
Now, I am trying to simulate what I am learning and need the dates in dd-mm-yy format. I tried using locale but it does not work.
Note: ** I do not want to change my OS settings and neither my Excel File**
Please advise. Thank You!
Solved! Go to Solution.
