Howto change PowerBI prefix

Hi, 

 

Since a week or so PowerBI doesn't show the Metric Prefix anymore. Instead, it shows "Duizenden" since my native language is dutch. In English, this means it shows "Thousands". 

 

I want PowerBI to use the M, K, G, ... prefixes, how can I do this?

 

Thanks!

      Bjoern I know, but I want to use PowerBI to show "K" instead of "Thousands" or "M" instead of "Millions". 

      Like it was a few weeks ago.

       

      Also I'd like to use the English unit instead of dutch/deutsch units.

       

      Do you know how to change it?

        First question: I do not know. Perhaps it was changed by default.

         

        If you want to use English units, you have to install the English PBI desktop version. For the Web-Service it is determined by your local language settings of the windows-user / MSIE.
