Can't change default language

Hi, 

 

I got one .pbix file from a source based out out of germany with German as the default language showing up in dashboard ("Mar" month showing as "Mrz"). I have already tried changing the default language to English(India) under

 

1) File>Options & Settings> Options>Regional Settings> Locale for Import

2) File>Options & Settings> Options>Regional Settings> Application Language/Model Language

 

It still not changing to English with any of the options. Is there any other i'm missing? Kindly suggest.

 

Thanks

Shubham

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you save. Close the file and Open again.

 

if it will not help u . U have to create one calculated column to replace the old column with same name.

 

 

Column = var Month_Name = FORMAT( 'date_field'[fecha]; "mm" )

 

return switch ( true(),

Month_Name=1, "Jan in Spanish"

.

.

.

etc

 

)
