Hi, I am using the Export functionalit of the Cost Management + Billing screen. The generated reports contains Date fields in format MM/DD/YYYY. I am having troubles understanding why this format is used. Is it a configuration and can I change it ?

@Stanislav Fotev Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help! Based on the information you provided, I understand that you want the date to be of different for the exported data. The date format used in the exported reports from the Cost Management + Billing screen is based on the regional settings of your Azure account. By default, the date format is set to MM/DD/YYYY for accounts in the United States. Let me check if this can be changed. Stay tuned! :)

@SadiqhAhmed-MSFT , additionally if it is not possible to specify a ISO 8601 standard date, is there a documentation that describes all possible date formats that can be returned?

@Stanislav Fotev Thanks once again for your patience in this matter! There is no configuration that would allow the customers to change the format as of today. However, the new FOCUS dataset which Exports v2 supports uses the ISO format. For instructions on how to enable the new experience and export the FOCUS dataset, refer to the following article: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/enable-preview-features-cost-management-labs#exports-preview

Hope this helps. Please write back to us if you have any concerns.
