DATE Format UK won't work

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have a date field that refuses to display in UK format DD-MM-YYYY in a date slicer. It appears in UK format in every other field and I have selected UK format in modelling and using locale.

T_SQL: FORMAT(s.CreatedOn,'dd/MM/yyyy') 'testdate'

date correct in data set and locale setdate correct in table not in slicer

correct region selected in power bi and PC

Any help would be appreicated as Im not sure how to fix, i have tried righting it as a DAX as well.

Thanks

Have you checked the regional settings under the Global heading in the Power BI options? The settings you have in your screenshot are the regional import settings for the current file only.
