    Hi epennekan1234 ,

     

    Report builder will format date parameters (using date picker or combo box) using system locale running on the client's machine.
    Service only formats date parameters when they use the date picker, but that only happens because the date picker component we use takes locale into consideration, the server returns all dates formatted in neutral (en-US) culture.
    When a date parameter is rendered as combo box in service we treat it as text and do no further localization of it.
    It is an issue but it is by design.

     

    Best Regards,

    Neeko Tang
