    I'm on a Windows 10 Pro, The display language is set to English (United States), The preferred languages are "English (Belgium)"/"English (United Kingdom)".

    I did not realise this might work like Office, where formulas follow the language. But it should be english.

      In the powerBI options, regional settings, I forced everything to English (United states), but still the same issue.
