Date Display Formats
Using Power BI Desktop to create reports and charts. What is the syntax for displaying dates in specific formats. For example, "01/25/2015" instead of "Monday, January 25, 2015". Etc. Thanks!
click on the time field in your model then you can click on Modeling in the Desktop ribbon and pick the desired date format

This does not hold true for the Power BI browser application. If you change the format to date the date is displayed as d-m-yyyy in the Power BI desktop, but the date is displayed as Monday 1 January 2016 in a graph in your browser.
Pieter Do you have a screenshot that includes your visual and fields you are using? The format carries through to the Service with no issues on any visual for my tests.
