Weird regional setting behavior

Hi all,

 

I share with you an intriguing PBI Desktop behavior regarding regional settings. The dataset is the same, but on the first graph I get English formatted dates and on the second I get French formatted dates.

 

I have already defined my regional settings as English in PBI, I have already played around with the locale parameter to set date as "en-150" and I have changed my Windows settings to full English for everything.

 

Any clue how I may remove the French formatting by any chance please ?

Hi @nicplancho ,

What do you mean first and second graph. Is the data in the data view English and when you put it in a visual, it turns to French?

Kalyj,

I have shared a screenshot with two graphs. Did you look at it ?

 

The dataset linked with those two graphs is the same, but the dates on the first graph appear in English while they appear in French on the second one.

I want them to appear in English on both of them.
