Changing Currency Format

We are a software company and have developed a report with a suite of visuals for our customer base. Whilst most of our customers are UK based, we have a few that are outside of the UK. Currently, the Currency Format is set to "Currency General" and the symbol is £ throughout the report.  I have 2 questions: 

1. What dictates the currency symbol when the "Currency Format" property is set to "Currency Symbol"?

2. Is there a quick way to change the symbol throughout the report?

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR ALL OF OUR TABLES ARE USE DIRECT QUERY.

Hi, thanks for replying. I could be wrong but it looks like the regional settings only apply in PBI Desktop when importing. Our report is 100% direct query, so any changes to the regional settings do not appear to have an impact.
