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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 ''
3.Change the column type to 'Decimal Number' and click 'Close & Apply'
4.Then you can use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop to customize how fields appear in visuals
