Date Time Format missing

Submitted by Anonymous on ‎11-22-2019 03:37 AM

I am missing a few Date Time formats in Data View. 

The one that I particulary need is : 'yyyy-MM-dd'. 

I tried by changing Regional Settings(Global and Locale), I reinstalled Power BI( my version: 2.75.5649.801 (19.11)), but still not resolving the issue.

Also I need Data Type:date, not string.

 

What could be the problem in this situation?

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

Based on my test, if the Regional Settings is English(United States) in Power BI desktop version 2.75.5649.801 64-bit (November 2019), it's able to find the date format 'yyyy-MM-dd'. Please change your regional settings for desktop as ours then test again. Also you can try to open the sample report on your side, check if the date format 'yyyy-MM-dd' is available.

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft,

As you can see, 'yyyy-MM-dd' still not available for me. My Regional Settings are set to English(United States). What else could I try?

HI all,

I have a similar issue.

I created a report on one computer, with a specific date/time format (d MMM yyy h:mm).

When I opened the report on another computer, with a different regional settings, the date/time field did not display properly (M/d/yy).

When I tried to change the date/time format - I got a cascade of errors ('Something went wrong')

 

Is there another way to define this?

Thanks
