Short Date as default date format.

[michel_onesti2]

Short Date should be the default date format in Power BI.

I believe that no one whats to use long date in pbi... so why this one still the default format?

[rmsolfest]

Agreed, but it should be customizable and default to the international format (e.g.: 2025-10-08)

PowerBI 1.0 should never have gone live without this as configurable.

I agree. Having Long Date as the default format makes no sense - who ever uses that?!
If Microsoft insist on keeping this unwanted format as the default, they should at least give users the option to modify it.
