Thousand Separators and Decimal Separator in Power BI Service

[Simeyli]

Hi!!!

I want your help. When I publish my reports into Power BI Service the thousand separator change to a dot as separator and a comma as a decimal separator but the thing is this in Power BI desktop everything is ok the Windows regional configuration is Spanish (Panamá) and  the reports are ok too.

This is how it looks on power bi desktop

This is how it looks on power bi service

I appreciate someone can help me.

Hi @Simeyli 

You can probably refer to the similar solved post for reference:

In the Service, go to the ? icon in the upper left and then About and see where your data is stored. Then, also check the gear icon and choose Settings and see what your Language setting is in the Service. Might also check your browser language setting but I doubt that is it.

I have already followed your suggestions and noticed that my data is being stored in Central and southern USA. UU. (Texas). How can I change it that to be stored elsewhere in Latin America for example?

Thank you so much for the help.!!!

Hi @Simeyli 

The data region is based on the country that was selected when the tenant was first created. This applies to sign up for Office 365 in addition to Power BI as this information is shared. If this is a new tenant, when you sign up, you will see a country drop down. And according to this article, this selection for data region cannot be changed!
