Desktop Dataset vs Service Dataset

Can someone help me understand datasets?

I have created a dataset in the desktop application. I made sure each of the data fields was formatted in the manner I want them (i.e. percent.)

However, when I publish that dataset the service ignores my formatting and I can't change it. Why? I can't even adapt the formatting in a visual.

Am I doing something wrong here?

What is the point of formatting data in the desktop if the service ignores it when I publish the data set?

Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi paulsw 

    Dataset in Desktop or Service is the same. What could make the difference in the service is the browser,Location, DateTime, Language...

      Thank you aj1973 but my experience is the same regardless of browser.

    Hi paulsw 


    Can you make sure to click on the Reset to Default to make sure no old settings are in place?

     

    Also what happens if you upload it to another App Workspace, does it work there?

      Thank you GilbertQ

      Where would I find "Reset to Default"?

      In this situation this is a first time load of this dataset to this Workspace so I would assume the results would be the same should I load it to a different workspace.

      Thank you mohammedadnant. The only refresh I see is the scheduled refresh which in my understanding would only update the data in the dataset. I am thinking this would not affect how the data is stored for the entire dataset.
