How do you change the data label number format in Power BI Charts?
- 11 years ago
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.
I have a Matrix which has the details I want, but the values would look better if they were comma separated on the thousands. 'Data Labels' is not an option on the formatting.
Any ideas?
I haven't heard of any changes coming on this front yet. I think the best we can do right now is vote for this feature. The voting option is very helpful for the team to understand what is important so that they prioritize this feature. Sound good?
