Hi @agragesh123,

 

I'm not able to reproduce the issue on my side. The DAX = Format([Date],"dd/MM/yyyy" ) will work fine in Power BI service.

In your scenario, please publish the attached .PBIX file to service to see if the issue persists.

Please choose that field and navigate to Modeling tab, and choose options in Format

In case this feature could not adapt your expectation, you could use DAX with Format function:

_ Create New Calculated Column

_ New Column = Format([DateField],"dd/MM/yyyy" )

 

 

Otherwise, You should refer discussed topic for locale setting:

hi! @tringuyenminh92

 

I have tried both the methods suggested before. I guess Modelling Tab is avilable only in Power BI desktop and not in Service. 

My desktop version is correctly displaying the date as DD/MM/YYYY but once I upload to service it changes to MM/DD/YYYY this is the problem.

 

Thanks
