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
Switched to a decimal number & then the $ went away
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.
Hey @Anonymous ,
did it work with the formatting as GBP?
I'm curious if you could solve this issue 🙂
