Regional settings configuration - BI Desktop vs. BI Service - differs

[backflash]

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.

Thanks @SpartaBI - this is solving my issue. I'll tell my clients to change this setting in order to get German regional settings.
Thanks!
