Format Data Labels from a published dataset?

I'm trying to create a report from a published dataset from another coworker. I am trying to increase the precision of the numbers in some of the visuals (from 5.5k to 5,502), etc. However, I can not see any option to change the format of the numbers. The format options are all greyed out.

 

Is there a way to change the formats from a published dataset or does it need to be done on the actual model before it is published?

Hi @pbi_throw_away 

Connecting to a Published Dataset is like you are in a Live connection mode, that's why you see the format options of the measures greyed out. To make the change, the Coworker or any User with a Role Member of the Workspace where the original dataset is located, can do it.
