Report builder Datepicker language format

Hi, i have a report created with Power BI Report Builder with a date parameter for which is used as a filter with a datepicker.

In report builder (locally) it's showing in dutch format. To get this I had to change the Language settings to nl-nl

But for some reason this will not work in Power BI service. There it remains in English. Even when users have there browser in Dutch.

Does anyone know how I can solve this and have the datepicker show in Dutch format in power bi Service?

Hi @SnoekL 
In addition to setting the browser language, you also need to set the POWER BI SERVICE language to match the browser language.

Thanks. Sometimes the solution is so simple 🙂

It didn't resolve the fact that the week is starting with Sunday where it is normal in Netherlands to start with Monday. Anyone an idea how to resolve that?
