HI @Anonymous  

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Thing is, I haven't got such setting.

Looks like "Regional Settings" under "Global" section woul help to solve my problem.

But I just can't fin that:

@Anonymous  thank you, you are very knowledgeable.

So I download Power Bi Desktop from the store.

Installed it, set global and regional to English.

Opened my file, saved and re-opened again.

 

And... some visuals do changed and some dosen't.

I created new file, just to run a test, and it's the same:

On above screen all visuals are on one report page and some visuals are English, some are Polish.

How is this possible?
