Hi @Niels_T ,

 

My Power BI Desktop version: 2.90.782.0 64-bit (February 2021)

My data source: Local excel file

My test steps:

Step1, Change my computer system setting: Control Panel\Region\Additional settings\Decimal symbol

Step2, Restart and refresh my .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.

 

My test result(You can see that I successfully changed the delimiter.).

But the methods provided by other blogs are not the same as mine, you can refer to it.

Hello everyone I have a Power Bi panel that consolidates information that many countries in the world load me in an excel by country, power bi consolidates them and I graph them however in some countries they use the comma as a decimal separator and in others the point I have already tried to change comma by point in the database and it gives me an error that I can do because when someone writes the number With comma Power BI converts it to integer

Thank you

@Niels_T , For this you have to change the regional setting. Change region to country uses this number format.
