Number Formatting on Card Visualization

I have a card visualization that totals the number of ticket scans for a tourist attraction. This is a direct query dataset, so it is essentially giving real time data, updated every minute. The number in the dataset is an int data type and I have set it as a comma seperated whole number in the Modelling tab, and the format is also set as a whole number.  In the card format for Data Label Display units is set to None. The issue is that is displays properly as a comma seperated number up until it reaches 10,000, but then the display switches to 10.1 K instead of 10,100 (or 10,125) which is how I want it to display. The attraction manager wants it to show it as a comma seperated number no matter how high the number goes. Any help would be appreciated.

    I managed to get this to display properly, using the following settings:

     

    Data Modeling in PBI model

    • Data Type - Whole Number
    • Format - Whole Number
    • Thousands Seperator - Enabled
    • Decimal Places - 0

    Visualization for Card

    • Display Units - None

    Thanks for everyone's input!

    Hi hhuddleston,

    I import data in direct query mode, and add the date into  a card, it also shows correctly, please see the following screenshot.

    select the card visual > Format > Data label > Display unit.... In this way, we can format our display unit to auto, none, thousand, million, trillion, billion....

     

    Thank you

    🙂

    Hi hhuddleston,

     

    It is weird, I tried as you explained and I have this visual.

    Can you please show us a sample in order to better understand your request.

     

    Thank you,

      The card on the left is what I want to display - no matter how high the number goes.

      The card on the right is what happens when it crosses the 10,000 mark.

        Hi hhuddleston,

         

        Either you give us your sample in order to test it again, but I still have the right visual ( on the left) when I tested on my computer.

        Perhaps another person can elaborate the issue ( if it is )....

        Thank you
