Power BI Service Shows Mixed Languages for Fields from SSAS Cube
Community SupportHi aschkan ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
While this typically has less impact with Live connections, you can try opening the dataset settings in Power BI Service and ensure the regional settings match German.
Sometimes Power BI Service may default to English for untranslated members or calculated fields, particularly if the model includes derived objects that are not fully localized.
If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

Hi,
Actually, it's not just calculated fields or untranslated members. The issue also affects standard measures, calculated measures, and even dimension levels. All of these members have proper captions in the OLAP cube, and they work correctly when using Power BI Desktop or Excel.
Where exactly can I find the regional settings for a specific dataset?
Thanks for your support!

Hi aschkan ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Since you're using a Live Connection to SSAS, there’s no dataset settings page in Power BI Service because the data stays in the SSAS cube and isn't imported into Power BI. That means you won’t see regional settings like you would with imported datasets. The model and translations are controlled on the SSAS side. Actually regional and language settings can be seen on top right corner settings.This is a known limitation in some environments, and you might want to test the same behaviour using Excel with the same credentials to confirm if the issue is on the SSAS side or how Power BI Service interprets the locale.
If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

Community Support TeamHi,
Yes, that was the first thing I checked. By default, it's set to the browser language (German), which doesn’t work.
Explicitly setting it to German doesn’t help either.

Hi aschkan ,
To investigate further, I recommend opening a Microsoft support ticket. They can help trace what locale is actually being sent in the connection context from Power BI Service to SSAS.
Please refer below link on how to raise a contact support or support ticket.
