Microsoft Card (New) > Format Visual > Callout >Data Units - not maintained when published

[electronicpost]

Hi, This is possibly a bug in the Microsoft New Card visual, I have a measure value configured how I want it to display within Power BI Desktop (decimal number, 9 decimal places, display units 'None' - this achieves scientific notation not showing). However once this is published the card reverts to display as a scientific notation.

I have another measure that is similar using the same visualisation and this is still fine once published. The problem measure is dividing 1 other measure by another (measure), both of these are set as decimal number.

Here is the desktop (left) page alongside the published (right) page:

Configured card in Desktop:

I can re-create the same display in desktop by adjusting the display units within the visualisation.

I can only display as the sciencetific notation when using the existing 'Card' visualisation.

I can't seem to find anything else to influence this in the published state.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @electronicpost ,

Can you provide detailed version information so we can reproduce the issue? A sample pbix file would be very useful .(Please be careful not to include sensitive information)

We'll get back to the product team as soon as it's acknowledged as an issue!
Thanks in advance!

Best regards.

I'm trying to display ZERO decimals. I've set the value as "Whole Number". But it keeps showing 2 decimals. I can't find a stting in the Card (new) where I can set the number of decimals....Very annoying. Seems like a bug to me too. Or I'm blind.

EDIT: Oh brother...I found it. Even though I only have 1 Callout value (Can you have more? Whatever.) I have to SPECIFICALLY SELECT MY VALUE in the Callout values formatting section. This reveals a previously-hidden Value decimal places field....................🙄

I just updated Power BI and ran into this same issue. I agree with the original poster that the new card indicator should just respect the formatting applied for the measure/column rather than having a separate (very deeply hidden) menu to adjust these individually. It's inconsistent from a user perspective.
