Hi everyone,
I've got a problem and I can not find a solution: I've Power Bi Desktop installed on my computer (WIndows 10 pro x64). The source data are some excel files. The locale settings on Windows are set on "Italian (Italy)" but on Power Bi Destop some value are displayed in different ways (and it changes from what I've got published online).
This a screenshot of the problem:
The first number displays quite correctly, the only problem is the € symbol displayed at the end of the number (instead the locale setting should be "- € 0.000,00".
The second number displays minus sign and currency value togheter at the end.
The third number present a different problem: the number uses "." to separate decimals instead ","
Any suggestion will be so much appreciate!
Best regards
Fabio
Hi @acco,
In your scenario, please change the Regional Settings in desktop to Italian(Italy). For more information, please check: Choose the locale of a report in Power BI Desktop.
Also you can change the currency format in the desktop:
