Power BI Report Embedded in PowerPoint - Change Date Format
Found the answer, don't use Short Date, but actually select the format you want. Works ok now for me.

I have the same issue
Date is represented correctly in Power BI Desktop Application and PowerBI Service (UK Date format via a custom date format, not short date). Using the Power BI Powerpoint plugin I noticed a date slicer (from & to date) is formatted with US date format mm/dd/yyyy rather than dd/mm/yyyy.
Checked the underlying data in PowerQuery and even manually set locale
Checked in PowerBI data tables - date format manually set (not short date)
Checked the visual slicer and manually set date format
Checked my computer's regional settings
Checked regional settings in Microsoft.com for my Office365 account license
All above are set to UK
The only place the format flips is in the embedded Power BI reports
I have tried removing and re-inserting the reports with no change
Is this a bug in the plug-in?? If so how do we raise this for investigation? Thanks!
