Default setup

Hi guys, is it possible to set the defaults in PBI.

e.g formating a

              date to be YYYY-MM-DD insted of DAY-DD-MONTH-YEAR.

              numeric to have thousand seperator and 2 decimals

 

its such a ball ache to have to change dates and numerics the whole  time.

If not, where can it be suggested for future releases.

cheers

Ian

  • IanCockcroft I guess you are referring to set default values in the slicer, unfortunately, it is not possible. You can vote for a suggestion on the ideas forum, I'm sure there is already an idea for this feature.

      Thanks parry2k ,

      i'm haviing a look and customising a theme might be the answer.

      Mike Carlo has a theme generator on themes.powerbi.tips.

      it looks like e might be able to set default fonts, formats etc and appl it to a report

      still investigating.

       

      ps. does PBI use your system setting lke exel does?
