Hi,

 

Is there a dax or m language that I can used to make all the amount converted to my preferred one because i need to send the values based on customer's geography.

Hi @tksnota 

You need to have a table that has the conversion factor for each currency combination and then use DAX to convert them. For example:

From To Conversion
USD KRW  
USD GBP  
USD CNY  
USD JPY  
CAD KRW  
CAD GBP  
CAD CNY  
CAD JPY

Formatting formats columns but doesn't convert a currency to another. There is no magical feature in Power BI that can do that. The conversion table can be imported from an Excel file, API or manually copy-pasted using the enter data featue - a converstion table must exist your semantic model one way or another.
