Thousand and decimal separator

[filiparibeiro]

Does anyone know why after publishing pbi embedded file to a portal it might happen that one person views the thousand separator as a comma and the decimal separator as a dot and other views this switched? I have preset on pbi desktop for the thousand separator to be a dot and the decimal separator to be a comma. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi. By a default setting, PowerBi Service will show dates and separators in the language set by the browser. For example. I develop in a Spanish Power Bi Desktop, but when I publish to my English browser it shows different separators. That is a way to help people from any place to feel confortable with numbers.

I think it might be possible to change it, go to dataset settings and change the tab to "General". You can find about one language

I hope that helps

Hello @ibarrau 
Thanks for your reply! I believe that's not the issue because I just checked the language settings in pbi service and they are right (set for Portugal as it should be in this case). Any other suggestions you might have?
