    Hi. The dates management can be really tricky. The thing is that those default formats like you are showing will change automatically to response on the Browser Language. Each account can configure on Power Bi Service if you want to use default browser language region to render reports or set one as default.

    I'm not sure if you can change that for a file. I think that's when you create it. However you can try setting a regional date type on Power Query (Transform data or quey editor menu) as sfrost shows there.

     

    Let's see if that definition can stay in the browser configuration in Service.

    Hope that helps,
