How do you change the data label number format in Power BI Charts?
I tried the following with one of my calcuations in "Power BI Desktop" and I was able to get the type of formatting that you were looking for vs. the default #.##K type formatting you had in your screenshot. Unfortuneatly that only works for card style tyles since it changes the numeric format to text (And text style calcs can't be used in bar graphs and other charts)
Total Received = FORMAT(SUM(Receipts[Receipts]),"#,###") -- This measure formula rendered like this:
Based on the current version the only changes you can make to label formatting for measures are the following:
Hope this helped. I would expect that we'll see more control for formatting in a future build at some point although I don't know when that will happen.
Thanks for the response, but this does not allow you to adjust the number format in a chart. All you can do here is change the number of decimal places. For example, instead of "50.25k", you can change it to "50.3k", etc.
I'm trying to change "50.3k" to "50,300", etc.
There is a "Display" drop-down button in this options section, but it is grayed out and inactive.
Thanks!
Memorable MemberI don't think it's possible, there has to be an option to display numbers in a default format. You can click on a smily face at the top and submit this as a bug or feature request.
