Inconsistent date format in refresh history of PowerBI service

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I spotted this inconsistency in the Report Refresh history. 

How can the format of the date column change from D/M/Y to M/D/Y in the view???

Can't say that this offers any comfort in the PowerBI service to handle regional dates in the data presented, when it's own coding can't get it right?

@Anonymous,

Based on your screenshot, the date are in M/D/yyyy format( from 1/11/2019 to 2/5/2019), do you want to change it to D/M/YYYY format? If so, you would need to set browser language and change Power BI Service language settings as described in  this similar thread.

Hi there,

Thanks for the information.

I have checked the information at the post you provided, and the language settings are correct.

The date format is still inconstent, for example - the screenshot below shows the date slicers format being correct:

The refresh date in (text) is here:

The refresh history screen shows dates in MM/D/YYYY, regardless of the language settings of the PowerBI service.

There is only one "English" option in the PowerBI service language settings.

@Anonymous,

Please make sure you set language settings as Default(browser language) in Power BI Service. In addition, how do you set language in your browser?

I did all of that as per the instructions.

@Anonymous,

I test your scenario, but unable to reproduce your issue. After you change language settings in chrome, please re-launch Chrome.
