Regional settings configuration - BI Desktop vs. BI Service - differs
Hello Power BI community,
I have a report created in Power BI Desktop for which I have selected regional settings for Germany:
This is working fine, as I can see in the visuals the '.' for thousand separator and the ',' as decimal separator.
But when I now deploy it to BI service, the whole thing is switched: my customers will now see the ',' as thousand separator and the '.' as a decimal separator.
Why is BI Service ignoring my regional setting of the file?
Where can I configure this to keep my regional settings from my BI Desktop File?
Hope someone has an idea how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!
Regards from Bavaria, Germany

Hi backflash,
In the Power BI Service go to Settings > General > Language
Note that this is a per-user setting.
You can use "Default" which will use your browser defaults (can be set or inhabitant from the OS).
You can also choose a hardcoded language.
