How to change the date format in the slice object

[somoksarkar]

I have used a slicer object in one of my current dashboard where the format shown is mm/dd/yyyy however my data has dd/mm/yyyy format. Is it possible to resolve by any means? I need to show the same format as its there in my data?

If you are in Desktop, you can go into the data model and change the format of the display. That may work.

I did that but still on the slicer ta coming as an incorrect format..

Hi @somoksarkar,

Please open check if the Locale setting in the desktop is English ( United States). See: Choose the locale of a report in Power BI Desktop.

Then go to the Control Panel-> Clock, Language, and Region -> Region, check if the date format is M/d/yyyy.

Hi,
I have tried that. But doesn't help.

Hi @somoksarkar,

The value selected from the slicer visual should be the same format as you set in Control Panel -> Region. Please double check if the date format setting in Control Panel is the same as the date format you set in desktop. You can try to update the desktop version to the latest one which released on 17/4/2017.

Also would you please share the image about date format both in desktop and control panel?

Hi @somoksarkar,

It's too strange. I would suggest you create a support ticket and let the Microsoft engineer research on your machine.
