date format phone layout

[trevor]

I have a date slicer that displays dates in dd/mm/yy format, but the phone layout has changed this to mm/dd/yy. The result is that the desktop view and the phone layout view are different. How do I fix this?

Hi @trevor,

Some elements of the mobile experience are effected by the devices locale settings.

Please try and change your locale to match your PC’s locale.

This should cause the date format in your Power BI app to match the one on your PC.

Thanks for the reply, but the only setting I can find on my (Android) phone is "Language" which is set to "English (Australia)" - the same as the PC. I have checked on one other (also Android) phone, which exhibited the same behaviour - when viewed on the PC the date format is dd/mm/yyyy, but when viewed on the phone at the same time it displays mm/dd/yyyy. 

As some additional info, the phone displays mm/dd/yyyy regardless of whether or not it is displaying in optimised view or not.

This is connected to your locale settings in hte Android OS. Can you please try to change it to english US?

I changed the "Language and Input" setting to English (United States) and it made no difference.
