In Power BI Service, it is not possible to change data format. Another workaround is to connect to the Power BI Service online dataset in Power BI Desktop, then use Format function to format your data.

Thanks for the swift response.

 

So I've started up Power Bi desktop and chose to:

Get Data > Power Bi > Power Bi Datasets >Connect

Chose the Sales force Sales Rep dataset from My workspace

 

Once the dataset had loaded I then proceeeded to create a test cart showing the "Amount" field from my test data

The amount shows in dolalrs, yet the Formating options on the Modeling tab are greyed out

Please see screenshot

 

Thanks
