    Hi chydewf1

     

    What I did was to change the PC I was working on to use the English Format for the Region Settings as shown below.

     

    And it is displaying fine in the Power BI Service, even with the Gateway refreshing the data.

    So I managed to get it to work. Once I signed in to chrome as a registered google user it allowed me to select english in the language setting and set it to default.

    Thanks very much for the help

    Hi Thanks for the replies

     

    The fix works well in internet explorer but I cannot get it to work in Chrome.

     

    Does anyone have any ideas?

     

    Thanks

      chydewf1,

      I also can't get it work in Chrome. Since there is no existing option to change date format in Power BI Service, I am afraid that you need to use IE in this case.

      Regards,
      Lydia
