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.
@NevZab72 , check if regionals setting can help in option 1,2

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.
