Decimal Format

Hello,

I am working with Power Bi Desktop and everything works fine, but I need to show decimals with this format "0,000.00".
I found the FORMAT () function, but this function converts my number into a string, so I can not show it in some Power BI graphics.

Anyone with a solution? Thanks!

Hi @dblanco,

 

In Power BI desktop, you can select this column, enable the Thousands Separator and set Decimal places as 2.

Thank you for your response @v-qiuyu-msft!

 

But what I need in my number is the format "0,000.00"

For example: 4,397,051.95

My number only show as "4.397.051,95"

I don't know how to do that, and the function FORMAT() return my number as string but I need as a decimal for some graphics in Power BI Desktop.

Hi @dblanco,

 

It's due to the number settings in Control Panel, please change the setting like below:

Then restart the Power BI desktop, when you go to the Data tab, you will see data is changed with desired format. But there is a known issue that the visual will not display with changed format, it's already reported internally: CRI 49845323. Will let you know if get any information.
