Localization numeric formatting for "German (Switzerland) [de-CH]" not working
FYI
Official answer from MS Premier Support at 18. january 2018.....
I know you have been already told that it is a limitation of Power BI.
Power BI product group have confirmed that this is a limitation of Power BI at this moment and hence this is a behaviour by design.
We do not have an ETA for fix to share with you at this point.
Also, we do not have any workaround to suggest.
I apologise for the delay and the inconvenience caused.
PS: Excel online still has the same issue (office online server)

Many thanks for the info, Daniel!
Fortunately, none of our users know how the formatting for de-CH should actually look like :-) Only programmers know that. So far I have no complaint from the departments because of the wrong presentation...
On the other hand, it is absolutely incomprehensible why Microsoft does not have the formatting under control. In .NET, it works without any problems. Why not in the used GUI library (JavaScript based?). Its an abolute basic feature.
Greetings, Roli
Update from MS premier support from 7. february 2018.....let's hope!!
"I have further escalated this. Though, it is not confirmed, PG is planning to release the fix April/May time frame. I believe , it will be fixed latest by May release of the Power BI release."

May I ask if you received any news regarding this?
Thanks
No good news for them moment.
Error is still included in the latest version of March 2018. Will ask Microsoft Support if the fix will come in May as suggested before.
