Problems when exporting to PDF - Dot instead of comma

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble exporting a report to PDF. In my workspace I display the numbers separated by commas (Example: 5,980), however when I export to PDF the number is changed to 5.980

 

I have already made the changes in the regional settings of the browser and my computer, but it does not solve it

 

Thank you

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

How did you set it up? I didn't have problems with my test.

What visual does this problem occur on? Can you explain it in detail?

Hello

Thanks for your answer. I install Power BI in Spanish language, since I am from Peru.

Then, the problem occurs only when I export the file in PDF or PPT. In these formats, the comma is changed to a dot.

Thanks again,

Try using the following methods:

1. Check the system region symbol settings for decimal numbers:

Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types (microsoft.com)
