@Anonymous,

When changing thousand seperator , you would need to firstly change region setting in your computer, for more details, please review my reply in this similar thread.

In addition, please note that the thousand seperator doesn't work as expected in February update and March update of Power BI Desktop after changing region setting, and this is a know issue which will be fixed in May or June update of Power BI Desktop. Currently, you can use previous version of Power BI Desktop such as January update to work aournd this issue.

Regards,
Lydia
