Report Date converting to US date format when published to service I am in Australia

[FelixElliott]

Hi in the attached screen shots in the power bi destop report the dates in the date slicer are in the correct dd/mm/yyyy format for Australia but when I publish to service it converts to US format mm/dd/yyyyy.

I have checked the Display Language Setting is default browser (Edge) and it is set to Australia.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi  @FelixElliott ,

The following link shows a solution to a similar problem. The issue is caused by a combination of the settings in the Power BI Service and the settings in your browser. 

In addition to changing the power bi service language settings, you will also need to change the settings in your browser, you can follow the About chrome example to see the steps:

Hi and Thanks for the prompt reply. The setting is the default browser which is the recommended setting. Also a report I published 3 days ago did not have this issue and maintained the dd/mm/yyyy format.

Hi,

Did you  change the Language settings in your power BI service account.Settings->Preferences->general->Language
