Format string measures derrived from numbers based on local user settings
Hi all, I have a question regarding localization of Power BI report formats. My goal is to use browser settings specific formatting for the users. For instance the numbers are formatted based...
I have a column that allows to switch between Currencies: USD $ or NIS ש"ח
In the Dynamic format I have a condition that returns the relevant symbol before the number shown:
VAR c = SELECTEDVALUE('Show Currency'[Currency for Calc])
RETURN
IF(c="USD","$ #,0","₪ #,0")
All works great in the Power BI but when I use Analyze in Excel - it changes the dollar sign $ to my ש"ח sign because of the Regional Settings.
I don't want to change the Regional Settings, I want to make it show exactly the symbols that I have written in the Dynamic Format.
I tried using UNICHAR:
IF(c="USD",UNICHAR(36)&" #,0",UNICHAR(8362)&" #,0")
But still the same issue.
Please help
