Helper IIdate format in slicer
Hi urpalani,
The date format display in the slicer visual decided by the local client Regional settings. Please make sure your region setting like below:

The approach of changing the language to English (United Kingdom) works fine on IE and Firefox, but does not work for Google Chrome.
Chrome has it's own internal regional settings for some reason so you have to change it independant of the OS settings
Advocate IId_gosbellIn Power BI desktop my date format is not being picked up. Local date format on my Windows 10 = dd/mm/yyyy, but in my Power BI slicer on a Date field, it still is mm/dd/yyyy. Any clues which other setting could be influencing this?

Power BI Desktop should be using the settings defined in the File > Options dialog. Note that there are "Regional Settings" both under "Global" and "Current File" so check both of those. It could be that someone set the file to use a different locale.

I'm in Australia and Global Settings only has US English.
Current Settings allowed UK English but it didn't make any difference.
I'm using MS Edge browser.
Edge has UK as language (I downgraded Australian 😞 )
I'm also aware that with Date formats (Relationship page) you need to choose the "unasterixed" date formats as those will default to US formats.
Crazy how much time you waste trying to get this to reflect correctly.
If the format is dd/mm/yy then why the heck does it reconfigure ??? What's the point of chosing a format? (sorry that is just a general rant!)
Thanks for your tips all the same
