The new Card visual in Power BI forces automatic number abbreviation (e.g., “2K”, “2 Mil”, “1.5M”), even when the measure has a custom format string applied (such as #,0, #.##0, or full currency formatting).
There is currently no reliable way to disable this behavior, as the “Display Units = None” option is missing or inconsistent in the new Card visual.
This creates several issues:
• Reports cannot display full numeric values anymore (e.g., “1,783” or “2,149,125.00”).
• The visual overrides the user’s chosen formatting, breaking existing reports.
• Workarounds require converting numeric values to text using FORMAT(), which negatively impacts sorting, performance, and downstream calculations.
• This is a regression compared to the old Card visual, which allowed full control over number format.
Please restore the ability to disable automatic number abbreviation in the new Card visual, or ensure that the visual consistently respects the model’s numeric format string without forcing K/M/B scaling.
Having full formatting control is essential for many business scenarios where exact numbers must be displayed without abbreviations.
Thank you.
