Display error (decimal point instead of a comma)

Hey all,

within the KPI visual, there is a decimal point displayed at the percentage instead of a comma (see figure). This happens automatically. Is there a possibility to change the decimal point to a comma manually?

Furthermore, the centering is not consistent, although both were centered in the middle. Perhaps someone also has a solution for this problem.

Currently I use the PowerBI-Desktop version 2023 May.

I have the same bug in PBI Service: The comma is shown right (2,7 and 5,3) but the percent value is WRONG

49.97 instead of 49,97. Please fix this: "." to "," . Region settings are right because everything else shown the comma.

Hey @Anonymous,
thanks for your feedback.
The settings were already set correctly. This problem only occurs when the display format (Style) for the KPI-Visual is changed from Value to Percent or Both (see figure ). Otherwise the display mode is correct (for "Value")

Maybe you have another idea 😉

Hi @Lion94 ,

 

As far as I know, the decimal symbol in Power BI Service is based on your system setting.

Change your computer system setting: Control Panel\Region\Additional settings\Decimal symbol

Select dot instead of comma>

Step2, Restart and refresh your .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.
