Hi  @mpapreja ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Column =
IF([Column1]<10000000,
","&MID([Column1],LEN([Column1])-6,2)&","&MID([Column1],LEN([Column1])-4,2)&","&RIGHT([Column1],3),
LEFT([Column1],LEN([Column1])-6)&","&MID([Column1],LEN([Column1])-4,2)&","&RIGHT([Column1],3))

2. Result:

mostly yes.  

Use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

You can also use FORMAT to achieve the Indian number display.

Measure = 
var yournumber = <your number here>
var twoples = ROUNDUP((LOG10(yournumber)-3)/2,0)
var fmt = REPT("##\,", twoples) & "###.00"
return FORMAT(yournumber, fmt)
