Date format changes between Desktop and Service

Hello,

 

I have a date column set up to 'long date' in PBI Desktop (day of the week not included) but when I check the data in PBI Service, the date includes the day of the week as well. I don't want that.

 

Any idea on how to remove the day of the week in PBI Service?

 , Try to clear cache of PBIX fileGo to File-Options and Settings - Options , Under Global, select Data Load and select "clear cache" under "Data Cache Management Options" and select "clear cache" under "Q&A Cache Options" and select "clear cache" under "Folded Artifacts Cache Options". Then ,save and re-publish.

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard

Hi @Kishore_Kadhir , thank you for your advice.

 

I've changed the browser language however the issue persists, I can still see the day of the week in the PBI Service report.

 

Regards,

Adela

Hi @Anonymous 

 

It could be because of your browser settings. I assume you are using chrome. Can you check what language is selected in your browser and select the one that is relavant to you?
