I had to change this in windows settings in order to get it to work, resetting, reverting and reinstalling power bi had no effect.

 

I had to go to Time & Language -> Region -> Additional date, time and regional settings -> Change Date time or number format -> Additional Settings -> Currency -> Currency Symbol.

 

I do not know how this has changed, although I did install Windows 10 update 1803 recently.

@parry2k hmm yeah I can see that other users in my org are not experiencing the same either, i'm using the MS Store version 2.70.5494.761 64-bit (June 2019).

 

I might just a try an uninstall/reinstall then to see if that sorts it.
