Hi,

 

You can try using DAX function example Measure = FORMAT(DIVIDE(SUM(Tablename[Columnname]),100000), "0.00 L"). But the drawback is you cant use that measure only in tables.

Hi,

 

K, M, and B represent thousands, millions and billions respectively.

To remove them and show the whole number, select the desired visual and go to format (pen shape in the visualizations tool), expand Y-Axis and choose None in Display units.

 

In order to change the currency from $ to the currency of your choice, go to the data view, select the table and column you want, in the toolbar go to formatting/currency and choose the desired currency symbol.

 

Hope this helps,

Sabine O.

Thank you so much for the reply.

 

The suggested one above applicable to desktop version. But I am trying to do it from powerbi.com,

since I am using Azure enterpirse as a Source which is not available in desktop version.

 

Any way to achieve the same in powerbi.com??
