Hi @NastiaSiri ,

 

The Belgium number format is with dots. can you set the Regional format to ENglish (United Kingdom) and try.

Hi,

 

In Belgium with use comma as a decimal separator and a dot as grouping, which is what I need. I have it installed in my Windows, but Power Bi chnages it to dots anyway.
