How to achieve such format?

Hello,

Currently my decimal number is displayed as 4 700,00. I would like it to be 4.7000,00 or 4.700 if I get rid of decimal places. How it is achieveable?

Hi, @Anonymous 

You can try following steps to transform data

1.Click 'Transform Data' and change the column type to 'Text'

2. Replace character' ' with character '.' and replace character ',' with character ''

4.Then you can use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop to customize how fields appear in visuals
