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 dashboardSame report pinned to dashboardReport VisualReport 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 correctlyPinned on Dashboard displaying correctly
