Changing the currency on online version of PowerBI from a sharepoint list

I have a report that has been created using the sharepoint integrate with PowerBI option, the problem I have is that i cannot change the currency to be £ and cannot see how to get the report into power BI Desktop to make the changes, any help appreciated.

 

I also have a issue where some of the dates were incorrect on my list when I first generated my query, i subsequent;y fixed this and now I still get the date coming through incorrectly on the Power BI report

I have the same problem. Is it a bug? And if so, why MS does not fix it?

Hi,

I'm having the same issue, I have created a sharepoint list using GBP as the currency, I use the power bi link to create a report and it changes it to USD, I cannot see how to change it online so I downloaded power bi desktop, but it tells me I cannot access the list I have full access to?

Hi Nige

Did you get a way to change the currency when using the Sharepoint integrate with the PowerBI option?
The currency is displaying correctly in my SP list but not in the report.

Hi @nigelcreaserc ,

 

Could you please provide some screenshots to help us clarify your scenario?

 

In my test, I have got the excel file from SharePoint Folder.

Hi @nigelcreaserc ,

 

Based on my test, you could change the display format of the column:

Hi Evelyn,

 

I have the same problem than Nigel

We are using sharepoint lists and the integrated reports that come alone.

 

In those reports (online), I don't see any option to change the currency either. The data in the corresponding list is displayed as euros (in my case), but I cannot format it in the report (change the symbol, the separator, decimals, etc)

Hi Eyelyn,

 

The report I am using is generated from a SharePoint list and when I look at the Power Bi page there is no ribbon and it does not look like the standard PowerBi online

 

Thanks

 

Nige
