Formatting differences between desktop app and published report

Hi,

 

I have several measures that appear correctly when the .pbix file is opened on my desktop, but when i publish the same file, the same measure used in the same visual is formatted differently. For example:

 

Desktop version:

qmestu_0-1677752693167.png

 

Public web link:

qmestu_1-1677752734856.png

 

There is no formatting applied to the measure, it is just defined as a whole number. What is the reason for this difference and how can i change it?

 

Thanks.

@qmestu , it may be because of power bi service regional setting

and you might have used default regional in desktop
