change from Capitalize K to lowercase k in thousands

The capital letter K is sometimes used informally to represent one thousand(dollars) in Power BI gauge and other visualization.

The letter K should not be used as an abbreviation for one thousand (dollars) in formal writing.

Can you please let me know how to change from Capitalize K to lowercase k in thousands?

Thank you 

Max

The capital K for thousand is incorrect. It should be lower-cased k. How can we suggest that this be corrected directly in PowerBI?

@Anonymous,

You are able to format your value in lowercase k using DAX, however, this value will be changed to Text data type. 

It is better to change display units as none as other's post.

Your best bet is to change the Display Units to None. There is no custom formatting for display units.
