Hello.
I have a measure calculating the sum of two columns.
The result I get is in the following format: 10.131,50
However, if I transform it into text by adding the currency, I get the result in this format: 10,131.50 EUR
Any idea of why the thousand and decimal separators change when the number changes to text?
Thanks
Hi @Unknown ,
Please change the system data format and use FORMAT() to change it.
FORMAT(SUM('Table'[Column1]),"#,##0.00")
Best Regards
