Date format in service wrong on refresh

On the power BI service all of the dates at in American format, is there any way to change them to UK format?

This should be 11/10/22

 

All of my regional settings on my microsoft account are set to UK. 

 

Thanks

Hi. I'm not completely sure how that date is generated to change it. However I can say that PowerBi works by default with the browser language. Be sure your browser is configured with English UK otherwise it renders all dates and decimal numbers the way the language knows.

I hope that helps,
