    Hi Nishantjain,

    My two cents: based on my experience with the library, you're using this as intended.

    It's not stated in your OP, but is the format as you expect for a core visual for the same measure, but not for the formatting utils? If so, then I would suspect this is a bug in the formatting utils and you should probably raise an issue for it. Of note, I see there's currently an open issue specifically with this locale, so it might be worth reviewing/weighing-in on that.

    Regards,

Anonymous Not sure which 2 features you are referring to. I am only trying to get the localization working.

 

Just need an example of how to make it work.

HI Nishantjain,

The two features mean the formatting and localization of custom visuals.  I'd like to suggest test two features alone to confirm the both of the two features work in your environment and the resulting style if they sensitive to the parameter orders.

import { valueFormatter } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingutils";
let iValueFormatter = valueFormatter.create({ value: 1e6, cultureSelector: "de-DE" });
iValueFormatter.format(1234567890);

Regards,

    Anonymous Thanks for the suggestion. 

     

    I have tried changing the parameter order but no luck.

        dm-p Thanks for your reply. I believe I have got exactly the same issue as you mentiond in your post (valueFormatter ignores culture #36). 

         

        The issue has been open for over 4 months so not sure what the priority is to fix this.

      HI Nishantjain,

      It can be a reason if some internal issue occurs as 'dm-p' mentioned.
      You can test to use different formatting parameters at the same time to confirm if this scenario appears when you work with multiple parameters or only appears if you combine with cultureSelector and other type formatters.
