Locale format

Hi there.

 

I have a report on my computer where my locale is Icelandic:

 

 

To the right is how it looks on my computer and that's how I want it to look ->
<- To the left is how it ends up on PBI Service: 

 

It seems the browser's locale always takes over, right? 

I've tried hardcoding the format with no luck. 

Can you recommend anything that I can do in order to fix this? Either when it comes to certain settings or hardcoding the format.

    Hi. The easiest one is keeping the browser language as you intend to read the data. PowerBi check the browser language for dates, thousands/decimal separator, etc.

    I guess you can try changing your user general language. Go to Power Bi Settings -> General -> language:

     

    I hope that helps/works
