Currently the language setting and number and date formats follow the settings in windows. For all of us millions that work on PC's using English language but regional keyboards and date formats we need to be able to choose English language on Power BI without having to use English Keyboard on our PC (which is what Power BI follows in settings)

RE: Chose language, date, time and number formats per user

It is not just the keyboard, inheriting those from the OS is completely bananas. We should be able to to set our standarts no matter what PC we are using to edit the file. How crazy it is that if I import a file from home my separators are one thing and if I import the exact same file from my office I get another? Also if I work with different standarts depending on the job I'm doing I have to change my Windows settings just to make it understad the difference between "." and ","? This is pure MADNESS, we should be able to set a default inside Power BI and stick with it no matter what PC we are in...
