You need to change format in Control Panel as following screenshot. Then reopen the PBIX file.

I tried this, does not work for me.

Measure = IF(SUM([column_name])>=10000000,format(SUM([column_name]),"##\,##\,##\,##0"),
if(SUM([column_name])>=100000,format(SUM([column_name]),"##\,##\,##0"),
FORMAT(SUM([column_name]),"##,##0"))
)

This patterns works for large digits like
Pattern - "##\,##\,##0.00"
Output - 49,82,734.00

But if the value is 0, it returns
Pattern - "##\,##\,##0.00"
Output - ,,0.00

Why is the ',' printing ! How can i avoid that?

Thanks Herbert!

 

However I'm aware of this Data Label option in visuals; I'm facing issue in Table visual.

 

In my table data is getting displayed in Indian System (Lakhs, Crores...etc - Ex: 10,50,600) however, I want it to get displayed in International system (Hundred Thousand, Million...etc - Ex: 1,050,600).

 

Kindly help me out with this issue.

 

 

Many Thanks.

In Power BI, we can define Data Labels Display Units for some visual charts. We can also create a measure/column to change scale. Not sure if you are looking for these two solutions.
