Hi StolzHerz,

 

Which kind of report( power bi report, rdl or mobile report ) did you deployed to Power BI report server and you wanted to format it as German (Switzerland) [de-CH]?

Hi QiuyunYu

 

It's a Power BI report. I deployed the report to the Power BI Report Server.

 

We have report readers around the world. Our headquarter is in Switzerland. I want that all users see the numbers formatted in their preferreded language and cultur, as it is defined in the IE 11 Internet Options under "Languages".

 

In Switzerland, the users have this IE 11 language settings: German (Switzerland) [de-CH]. But with this settings, the number format for de-DE is applied, not for de-CH. If I use other language settings, as example en-US, everyting works fine.

 

Greetings,

Roli

    Hello everybody

    Same problems still exist with current version October 2017 On-Premise. Problem exists with Excel Online, Power BI Reports. Excel called natively on the same tabular model is displayed correctly formatted.

     

    Many thanks for further investigations through MS.
