Export to PowerPoint does not use locale separators
I'm living in a country with a comma as decimal separator and a period as thousansd separator. This is shown correctly in my browser and when I print a page to PDF, but when I export the report to PowerPoint, the separators are switched (comma for thousands, period for decimals).

Hi denR,
Which country (the format exactly) are you in? What's the format of numbers of your computer? Please check it out if it's the right format.
This is the possible cause. If not, please feel free to feedback.
Best Regards!

Hi Dale v-jiascu-msft,
I changed my language settings and exported again, but with the same result. Is the format of the PowerPoint numbers determined by the browser, by the Power BI backend, or my locak PowerPoint settings?

I’ve got response from the Product Team.
Unfortunately by design. English (Switzerland) is not a supported locale in the version of GlobalizeJS we currently use. We plan to upgrade but this will take time. New version will use latest CLDR which supports en-CH.

For now user can try changing language to DE (German).
