Hi,
It seems like the reports generated by email subscription only works with US date format regardless of any regional & format settings in the report. Any one else experience this problem & know how to fix it?
For context, my regional & data format settings are all set to Australian date format. Dates are formatted correctly (to Australian format) both in Power BI desktop & when viewed online in the Power BI service as seen here:
But if subscription is setup for the same report, the date appears as US format in the generated image in the email:
Service is definitely running in the Australian region as can be seen here when I go to "About Power BI":
Any ideas?
No it hasn't. It's rediculous.
Hi,
This is still an issue, any suggestions?
Has this been solved?

Hi,
Regional settings are already set correctly:
This is why the report displays correctly when view online on the Power BI site.
Issue only occurs in the generated report in the email subscription.
