thanks ankitpatira as per your experience, is there any work around I could do with the number format that could represent the data in normal numbers?

majdkaid22 If you want to use table sorter custom visual, under modelling you can change data type to Text but doing that means you won't be able to get sum of the values instead it will display all the values as text. You can check out using default powerbi visuals such as a table or matrix.

    I'm also having this issue with TableSorter. It works brilliantly but for that fact that numerical values over 1000 are shown in scientific notation. Changing the data type to text would mean the data wouldn't be sorted in numerical order which is the reason for using this custom vis. My dataset is looking at number of pupils in an individual school, with the largest number only being 1500. Are there any plans to change how this vis displays these not very large numbers?
