Detail Label Formatting Not Carrying Over to Dashboard

I am experiencing an issue with my Power BI report where the detail label formatting is not carrying over correctly when pinned to a dashboard. In my report, I have a measure called "Percentage Relative to Budget" which is formatted as a percentage and displayed correctly within the report. However, when I pin this visual to a dashboard, the percentage detail labels revert to a decimal format.


I have ensured that the measure is correctly formatted as a percentage in the Data Model, and the visual displays as expected in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service. I have also tried refreshing the dataset, re-pinning the visual, and checking for any conflicting settings in the dashboard, but the issue persists.

 

Is there a known workaround or solution to ensure the detail label formatting (percentage) is retained when pinned to a dashboard? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Same report pinned to dashboardReport Visual

    I did find a work around. I created a helper Text column to use in the Details Label and that allow me to pin the visual to the dashboard with the expected results. Pinned on Dashboard displaying correctly

     

    FORMAT( [% to Budget],"0%" )
