Norwegian number format
Hei, I have an issue with number format after publishing out the report from PBI Pro Service. The format is fine in PBI Desktop, all in Norwegian number format. Under control panel - regional setting, I have changed the language, number and regional area to Norway, setting in PBI Service is also changed to Norwegian. However, the result remains the same, i.e. US number format.
I have tried also to change from PBI Service to default which follows the setting of the internet browser's setting (in Norwegian) but the result is still in US format.
Strangely, after I have changed all to German format and after publishing, the format correctly changed to German format with language (page number for navigation) also in German which is not something we would like to have.
I am wondering if PBI does not recognise the Norwegian numbering format? Are there anyone having this same exact issue?
Thanking in advance and regards,
Rita

Hi RitaDewi,
Based on my test, could have chosen the language in Power BI Service?
Choose your language in the Power BI service
- In the Power BI service, select the Settings icon
> Settings.
- On the General tab > Language.
- Select your language > Apply.
You could refer to below link and test again.

Hei Daniel, thank you for getting back to my problem.
That is exactly what I've done, changing language setting from PBI Service and also from internet browsers (IE and Chrome).
Both don't work. Have you tried with Norwegian at your side? The numbering format for 1 million is 1.000.000 (although we would like to have 1 000 000) and for percentage is 6,35% for example.
Best Regards,

Hi RitaDewi,
Could you have selected the language when you are downloading the Power BI Desktop Version?
