New Look - Date Updated European Format

In the "New Look" Power BI the Date updated appears at the top of  reports.  This date is in US format.  Can it be changed to European format?

This problem arose due to incorrect browser settings.  My default browser is Chrome.  It's default browser language was English US.  PBI was set to use the default browser's settings, effectively inheriting English US as the display language. 

 

Changing my default browser's language setting to English UK resolved it.

Hi @cymorg ,

You can modify power bi language to change display unit and date format.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm encountering the same issue. Can there be English (US) and English (UK) in the options? I tried both french and chinese for testing, but it doesn't change anything and is still in US date format.

Cheers.
