Custom Locale Number Formatting

I use code "[$-fa-IR,300]0" in Excel custom formatting to display numbers in Persian (Hini numerals), shown below and as explained here

I am wondering if it possible to use similar custom formatiting in Power BI, as explained here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-custom-format-strings

Hi @ashkan_n ,

 

Based on my research, It seems that power bi does not support this data format now. I suggest you create an idea for it in https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

 

Best Regards,
