Date format when published from Desktop to Service
This is similar to other posts, but I haven't found one that answer the question.
In Power BI Desktop I have the following (desired) date format:
However, when I publish to Chrome it has the following (undesired) format:
I have followed a few of the suggestions of how to fix date format, but most are to do with US/Rest of the world date format, which isn't really the problem.

Hi Anonymous ,
When you mention that you have modified some things - are you talking about in the service or in your browser? It is possible that your browser has a default display setting in it based on locale settings. Is it showing the same date format in different browsers? How about for different people in different regions?

I've changed Chrome's default language to English from US, that's the only change I have made.
I also see the incorrect date format in Edge.
Other people are seeing the same problem.

Hey Anonymous ,
This person went through all of these steps to get it resolved:
Solved: Date displayed in american format - Microsoft Power BI Community
This thread suggests hardcoding some dates and/or using steps similar to the first thread:
Manage Date Formats in the Power BI Service (mssqltips.com)
Do either of these help?

Thanks for the help, however neither of these solutions tackles the problem - they describe what I have already done, namely updating the default language setting in multiple browsers to address UK/US date format.
I'm more looking to address the short/long format - 01 August 2022/Monday, August 01, 2022
