Advocate IIUSERCULTURE() working on Free accounts
Hi Everyone!
The following article, reveals that the function userculture() is designed to operate exclusively within Power BI Premium per capacity, Power BI Premium per user, and Power BI Embedded.
However, my experience differs. I created a new report using the translation builder and included userculture() measures, all while using a Free account. After publishing it to "My Workspace," it surprisingly seems to function correctly.
The system accurately detects and translates everything, both when the link is modified with /?language=xx-XX and when there are changes to the service's regional settings.
- Given this, I'm curious to know if userculture() is actually intended to work with Free accounts under certain circumstances
- If it's not meant to, what are the potential consequences of this function failing? Would there be errors across all visuals, or might it simply revert to displaying default values?
- Or maybe the I am misinterpreting the limitations?

Hi wittwo_sagra ,
The function in Power BI is designed to return the locale (language code-country code) for the current user, determined by the operating system, browser settings, or Power BI serviceUSERCULTURE(). According to Microsoft’s documentation, this function is currently supported in Power BI Premium per capacity, Power BI Premium per user, and Power BI Embedded only.
Would it be possible to confirm that you are not using any trial licenses?
Best regards.

Hey again,
Regarding the issue, hypothetically how the restriction would look if USERCULTURE() wouldn't work for free user?
Would the report even open, or it would show just the default values?
