Date format changing after publishing to service.

Hi everyone, I'm facing a weird problem in my report. The date format is changing automatically when I publish the report to Power BI Service platform. 
I am attaching the snapshots below for both the cases 

This is as per power bi desktop and the format that is desired.

Can you please explain what exactly needs to be done @Fowmy 

@sbadiger3 

In Power BI Desktop, select the meaure or the column that you need to have the correct format, and in the format box of the Column tab, enter the text format as I have done above
