Email subscription date format always set to US?

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,

 

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.

@lyphtec ,

 

I would suggest you to create a support ticket here.
