Local Support?

Anonymous · ‎04-28-2021

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.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
