Hi Power BI,
My Power BI desktop has been correctly configured to my locale (Australia).
However any reports that i publish into Power BI Service have US style dates, and the timings have been coverted to US.
e.g. I check my usage stats on the reports i built. I know that i only look at my reports during business hours, but the usage statistics says i logged in on Sunday to view. This is not correct but i am assuming because it is in "US-time".
Does anyone know how i can fix the US times on Power BI service?? (i.e. the web interface)?
Thanks

Thanks. I do use today() functions in DAX so this explains part of the problem.
The other problem is that i have slicers that allow the user to control the date range. These are also changed to US styled dates. This is not something i can use DAX to change as these use the slicer functionality out of the box.
Do you know of a solution to this?
Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous
That is really interesting when I look at my dates in the Power BI Service, I have them as shown below.
I do have a Date table setup.
I also ensured that I have got my Locale Settings, setup via Internet Explorer (Yes I know!) are set with the default being Australia.
If that does not work let me know.
Hi @GilbertQ,
My locale settings for IE are set in Australia as well.
I only experience this isue using Power BI service. The dates display correctly in Power BI desktop.
I feel like it is some setting that needs to be done for Office 365 and/or Power BI, but i am not the administrator for my company.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
