Power Bi Service change date format

Hi

I am using Azure Stream Analytics with PBI. So I can't do what I want with PBI Desktop.

Initially the timestamp comes as text from Azure.

Then I adjust it to DateTIme in the settings of the dataset.

But then it shows it in MM/DD/YYYY instead of our DD/MM/YYYY.

Changing browser settings do not help here.

 

EDIT: THe same look on Android and iOS App.

 

Is there a way to change that?

 

 

Thanks

Hi, @JoRo ;
You can check if these related post can is useful to you.

The issue is caused by a combination of the settings in the Power BI Service and the settings in your browser.

Hi

Doesn't help, still the same.

It is even in the PowerBI App on iOS and Android the same.....

Hi @JoRo 

 

I am sure that you have to change the regional settings in Windows for this to work?

My system is on my local settings, as well as my browser.  Everything else is displayed correctly. Every report I upload from Desktop is running fine.

I think, this is due to the lack of defining the correct output in PBI Service.

 

This is how it goes out of ASA:

"time" : "2022-02-19T11:37:58.300+01:00",

This is how it is displayed

02.19.22 12:37:58 PM

This is when I copy the value from a table in PBI Service

Sat Feb 19 2022 12:37:58 GMT+0100 (Mitteleuropäische Normalzeit)

 

systeminfo.exe:

Systemgebietsschema: de;Deutsch (Deutschland)
Eingabegebietsschema: de-ch;Deutsch (Schweiz)
Zeitzone: (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rom, Stockholm, Wien

 

 

 

 

Hi @JoRo 


Can you change the format settings for the date column and see if that helps?

There I can only change the value alignment from left to right, etc.

Tried them all, no change. Or are you thinking of someting else?
