Difference number format in Power Bi Desktop & Power Bi Service

In the desktop version of Power BI, numbers are formatted with a comma as the hundred separator, but when the report is published to Power BI Service, the numbers display with a period as the thousand separator.

What configuration adjustment can we make to ensure that the report displays numbers with commas as hundred separators?

 

Power Bi Desktop (Hundred Separator Number) : 1,00,000
Power Bi Serviced (Thousand Separator Number) : 100,000

 

Region : India

Hello,

I think it depends on the language / settings put in the service. Do you use service in the same language as desktop?

I think service could inherit the settings of the browser / system. Check this out

Thanks Gabry.

I changed the browser setting (Edge) as English (India).

Now all the numbers are reflecting as Hundred Separator. 
Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
