      Hi Ankit,

       

      Thanks for the answer. I tried the modelling tab. I am facing the problem for comma seperator in table. It is correctly displayed in all other visuals

        Hi shrmehta,

        Could you please share the screenshot of the wrong format data in table visuals?

        I created mine and it displays well.

        By the way, it is also available to change the data type under report View (we need to click on the value column first to make the Modeling available), check if it will have any difference when changing the format or data types.

        Regards

    Hi there shrmehta,

    Please try this, works for me 

     

    Power BI is picking up Currency format from Local computer where you create you desktop file (.pbix).

     

    So before opening your pbix, go to control panel >Clock lang>Region>Currency and change it as needed.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    and change region to USA or CANADA etc.. you should get millions, billions.

     

    Cheers
