Thousand and decimal separator in text measure

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")
