DAX code seperation sign change ; (semicolon) to , (comma). Dax is not working any more?

‎11-01-2021 03:09 AM

EU users (Netherlands) need to use semicolon (;) instead of the comma (,) to write DAX code as an separation sign. 

DAX is now automatically changing the semicolon to the comma, but than the DAX code does not work any more. Is this a bug since the last update of PowerBI (October 2021)?

If I want to change the comma to the semicolon it is not accepted. Is this a regional setting in PowerBI? Is there a work around to solve this problem? 

Please help!

Hi @BerendHekje 

 

Although you probably have, can you check your regional settings? Power BI update may have reset these to default. 

 

Hope it's a quick fix!

Thanks, I found out that our admin installed Windows in English and PowerBI desktop in Dutch. This leads to some issues in configuration with seperators and commas. The best is if a Dutch version of windows is installed in my case... Hope our administrator is willing to help....
