About this task

On the Personal Settings page, you can select a default reporting period, which is used for extract reports.

If your administrator has enabled multi-language support, you can select a language from the list. Otherwise, you can choose between US English and UK English. Both languages use US spelling. The only difference is the locale setting (that is, date format for US is MM/DD/YYYY and for UK is DD/MM/YYYY).

Note:

• When you change your language, you are notified of the change and are automatically logged out. When you log in again, the language setting is applied.
• When you change your language on the same day that your system administrator enables language support for your organization, the translated versions of PowerReports are available within 24 hours.
• It can take Microsoft Power BI up to 30 minutes to reflect language setting changes in PowerReports.
