Format percentage 9,9,9%

Since today the format of percentage measures has changed. It shows 9,9,9% instead of 9,99%. Anyone facing this issue?

Hi joostraaphorst,

I am not able to reproduce your issue. When I view Gauge Chart in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service, the percentage measure displays properly as follows. Do you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.37.4464.602) to create Gauge Chart? How do you create your percentage measure?



Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    Scroller percentage

    Anonymous It seems not limited to the gauge visual. I have this problem in the Scroller visual and the line chart visual. In my case the measure is a DAX measure that is formatted as percentage with 2 decimals by Power BI.  If you view the data table of the visual, the percentages look fine

    Hi Lydia,

    thanks for your reaction.

     

    Our dataset is a SSAS tabular model, where we have defined the format of the percentage with 1 decimal.

    We are not using Power BI Desktop. We build the dashboard in the PowerBI app in Office 365.

    When we select the measure in a table it shows up correct, but in a visual it shows up with 2 decimals and an extra decimal point.

    Hi Lydia,

     

    i am facing exactly the same problem with 3 of my (Dutch) customers and my own dashboards. The same problem is also there with the latest Power BI version (2.38.4491.282).

     

    Is there any more information available? 1 of my customers is testing the Board dashboards right now and this was een unpleasant suprise!

      I am currently in the proces of examining the issue with Microsoft. A recent reply i've got indicates that the problem is broad:
