Local Support?

Oh, me again! PBI newbie!

If 'Revenue' is  currency general and system locale is UK where does the '$' prefix on data labels come from?

 

And if 'Volume' is a whole number also, why '$' on data labels?

 

 

Matrix charts seem happy not to prefix with $ for same measures

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    the handling of currencies has some room for improvement 😉

    Whenever it's a currency Power BI puts automatically $. You have to select the column and change the symbol to the currency you would like to show:

     

    Be aware, there is no conversion happening, you just chose the symbol that is shown before the number.

    If you need any help please let me know.

      Hey Anonymous ,

       

      did it work with the formatting as GBP?

      I'm curious if you could solve this issue 🙂

    Switched to a decimal number & then the $ went away
