Number Formatting on Card Visualization

I have a card visualization that totals the number of ticket scans for a tourist attraction. This is a direct query dataset, so it is essentially giving real time data, updated every minute. The number in the dataset is an int data type and I have set it as a comma seperated whole number in the Modelling tab, and the format is also set as a whole number.  In the card format for Data Label Display units is set to None. The issue is that is displays properly as a comma seperated number up until it reaches 10,000, but then the display switches to 10.1 K instead of 10,100 (or 10,125) which is how I want it to display. The attraction manager wants it to show it as a comma seperated number no matter how high the number goes. Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to get this to display properly, using the following settings:

 

Data Modeling in PBI model

  • Data Type - Whole Number
  • Format - Whole Number
  • Thousands Seperator - Enabled
  • Decimal Places - 0

Visualization for Card

  • Display Units - None

Thanks for everyone's input!

select the card visual > Format > Data label > Display unit.... In this way, we can format our display unit to auto, none, thousand, million, trillion, billion....

 

Thank you

Hi @hhuddleston,

 

It is weird, I tried as you explained and I have this visual.

Can you please show us a sample in order to better understand your request.

 

Thank you,

The card on the left is what I want to display - no matter how high the number goes.

The card on the right is what happens when it crosses the 10,000 mark.

Hi @hhuddleston,

 

Either you give us your sample in order to test it again, but I still have the right visual ( on the left) when I tested on my computer.

Perhaps another person can elaborate the issue ( if it is )....

Thank you
