Inconsistent decimal Separator in KPI Visual (distance to goal style) in German localization
In case anyone lands on this post in the future:
The problem was a bug within the KPI visual from the microsoft side where a locale setting was hardcoded. The problem should be fixed in the near future from microsoft.
Hi Anonymous ,
Are you using KPI visual? As far as I know, its calculation and the format of the values are automatic, which cannot be modified manually and you cannot find the corresponding properties in the setting. If you want the value to display in the specified format, I recommend that you use the format function to create the measure and display the result on the card. The method of creating measures and using cards is more flexible than using KPI visual, and you can specify any format.
FORMAT function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
Use custom format strings in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hi Anonymous accepted as solution as it answers the question. It is not possible to define the decimal separator in a KPI visual independently.
I created a bug ticket directly with Microsoft for this. Just found another ticket gegarding the same error with an unsatisfactory answer:
Lets hope someone can wave their magic wand and fix it 🙂
Best regards
