    Skemaz,

     

    Please format your date by using the DAX.
    Column 2 = FORMAT(Sheet1[Date],"D/MM/YYYY")

    And then publish it to Power BI services to check if the date format change or not.

     

    Regards,

    Charlie Liao

Hi Phil

Thanks for assisting, however the solution you refered me to doesn't seem to make a difference.

These are the steps I took (see screen-shots below).

(1) I checked and my powerbi.com settings and it was already set to "Default".

(2) In Firefox (checked in Edge as well), I removed English US leaving just English.

(3) I restarted Firefox and logged ina again but I still see the US date format.

I appreciate your assistance.

Cheers, Mark.

It worked for me. I had a similar problem, but with the units displayed on the Cards, they showed "Mil" instead of "K", it was a regional settings problems, thanks.
