Report showing wrong Date Format all of a sudden

Hi,

 

I have noticed my reports on Power BI service the dates are showing in American Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but previously was showing in UK Format "DD/MM/YYYY". How there been an update recently for the Dates to change?

 

The Date & time settings on my local machine has the Time Zone as (UTC+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

The settings on Power BI Service has the Language as Default (browser language)

 

Is there anything else I need to be checking?

 

Thanks

Hello everyone,

This is affecting the UK as well, All regional settings in the Power BI service seem to have changed to USA regional settings. Cannot correct this my end.

Same problem for us. 
Not only date fields are affected, but also formatting of decimal numbers got english syntax instead of german in spite of correct browser settings.

My reports are also all impacted.  Were displaying long date and should show 14th April 2023.  But now showing Monday, 17th April 2023. Very annoying. hoping for a quick fix.

Same issue with the weekday now showing in the date slicers on the published version (desktop seems ok).
