How to change date format for Refresh Date on PowerBI Service

[Ashwin_Wadalkar]

Hi,

I want to know how to change the PowerBI Service Date format from MMDDYYYY to DDMMYYYY.

When I publishes the report on powerbi service & looks at report refresh date (at right bottom) of the report, I finds it as MMDDYYYY.

How & where can I change it.

My system/ OS Date is as DDMMYYYY.

Thanks,

Ashley

Hi @Ashwin_Wadalkar ,

The date format of the Power BI Service is related to the language.

You can try to set the Service language as the default browser language, then select the language with DDMMYYYY format as the browser language, e.g. English (United Kingdom). Then restart the brower.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Hi @Ashwin_Wadalkar ,

Are you saying that the format is DDMMYYYY on Desktop but changes when you publish it to Service?  If you want it to display differently based on your location, change the locale.  As you can see in this thread:
