Hi webportal,

 

I'm also from Portugal and come across some similar issues since the computer I have is corporate issued and is in English but the regional settings are in Portuguese, so a litle messing up in the way Power BI assumes the values.

 

 

Two questions that I had when doing files in different computers with the same data formats:

- Regional Settings of the Power BI files

- Version of Power BI desktop app, I don't know exactly from what date forward the power query in PBI was improved and the "." and everything else didn't got any errors when donwloading from web content.

 

Check this in both PC it can help.

 

Any question tell me.

 

Regards

    Thanks!

     

    Regional settings are identical, I'll check the PBI version.
