Hi @nadir ,

I can't reproduce your issue. Can you please share more details?

• What do you set in the region settings?

• Do you set data type to country or country/region?

If you could post a dummy file, we can test it and find the issue easier.

Best Regards,

Xue Ding

Hi @v-xuding-msft 

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply.

1. I set  the region settings for current file to Arabic Suadi Arabia

2.  Regarding setting the  data type to country or country/region , the data in this field is a text data which has the Tenant Name in Arabic , but eventhough I tried to change it but no luck.

3. As I explaind in my post , the data is correctlty displayed in Power Bi Desktop , the problem is only when I publish the report to the service.

4. I am connecting to SQL server data , will you please tell my how to share a dummy file from the data.

Best
