wrong date format in slicer

Hi all !

 

I just noticed this (at least from the  July version) Whatever option I select about regional setings, date in slicers showed up in US format. 

My computer is set to English(Belgium) regional settings, Date should be shown as dd/mm/yy . 

In fact it works in dropdown or list slicer. Not in the other options as you can see below.

fun fact one of my colleague has the same issue.

I don't have it on my personnal computer where the regional settings are set to french(belgium). I double check the two regional settings option in power bi desktop and they are all the same.

There is not way to edit the format in Between, before and after slicer. It can only displays date in the default format.

Hi @fsim ,

 

 

Try changing the date formats using Locale in Power Query.

Hi ! I tried, no effect

the format is good everywere BUT in the between (before or later) slicer

 

@fsim - I believe this has come up before and there really isn't a way to control the way the date is displayed in that format of the slicer.
