Im having issue with PowerBi Dashboard setup. I have imported the data from mssql tables and i want to display numbers with thousands separators to increase readability.
Like: 248754728457 to 248,754,728,457
enter image description here
I really digged through the internet and many stack pages but without a luck. Either have no option in specific tab or other thing.
May you help me?
Alright i finally found it. Maybe it helps somebody:
I went into edit powerquery and set each column as fixed decimal number and applied
then i went into data view (from report view) into column view
then i clicked on the column change its format to decimal number and clicked comma button below as separator.

I have a column with lengthy values in my Power BI table. I would like it to only show a part of it so that the table isn't hard to navigate, and once the viewer clicks or do something, then it shows the whole value. Is there a way I can accomplish this?
There are posts about collapsing/expanding the whole column, as in keep it disappeared and then appear once you expand or vice versa, but I can't find a way to collapse/expand each values.
Following is an example. As you can see, "Bio" column is very lengthy, so I would it to show maybe a few lines in original view, and once the viewer wants to see the full Bio of that authors, then they can by a click or any action.
Any help would be much appreciated!

What I want
You can add a column with the truncated version, and a Drill Through to a report page for that single bio.
I have been trying to find an answer to my problem but to no avail, so hoping someone is able to provide some ideas / advice on if this is possible and if so, how to go about it? I've tried various things and none have worked.
We create views within SQL and then connect to them using 'Import' from the Data Connectivity Mode when connecting to the SQL Server from within Power BI. Within the view, we use tables that contain a 'Valid From Date' and 'Valid To Date' for each row of data, so when a change occurs a row is closed off and a new row is created. This is so we can limit the rows of data within the table.
When trying to create a report within Power BI, we need to make it that the end user can use a data drop down list to select a date and the data within the whole of the report shows any rows that the selected date falls on or between the Valid From and Valid To dates. We use Cards, Tables, Matrix and Charts within our reports, so all would need to reflect the date selected by the user.
I have tried various methods that I could think to get it to work but each have had limitations where it either doesn't work or only partly works.
Any help / advice on this would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks

so, I got 3 xlsx full of data already treated, so I pretty much just got to display the data using the graphs. The problem seems to be, that Powerbi aggregates all numeric data (using: count, sum, etc.) In their community they suggest to create new measures, the thing is, in that case I HAVE TO CREATE A LOT OF MEASURES...Also, I tried to convert the data to text and even so, Powerbi counts it!!!
any help, pls?
There are several ways to tackle this:
When you pull a field into the field well for a visualisation, you can click the drop down in the field well and select "Don't summarize"
in the data model, select the column and on the ribbon select "don't summarize" as the summarization option in the Properties group.
The screenshot shows the field well option on the left and the data model options on the right, one for a numeric and one for a text field.
And, yes, you never want to use the implicit measures, i.e. the automatic calculations that Power BI creates. If you want to keep on top of what is being calculated, create your own measures, and yes, there will be many.
Edit: If by "aggregating" you are referring to the fact that text values will be grouped in a table (you don't see any duplicates), then you need to add a column with unique values to the table so all the duplicates of the text values show up. This can be done in the data source by adding an Index column, then using that Index column in the table and setting it to a very narrow with to make it invisible.
I have around 6 drop down filters in my report. In development environment they all contain values to choose:
Right after publishing the report everything looks fine as well, but if I close the report and then open it again - values in first 3 filters are blank:
Why does it happens?
In order to eliminate values in those filters I used "Merge Query" and
used Inner Join.
Can this effect it somehow?
In query editor I formatted GUIDs columns as 'UPPERCASE' even though they were all Uppercase.
But after I 'Close and Save' it worked.
I am very struck in this issue and I searched everywhere but couldn't found solution.I have requirement to make table which should have image column. As the default table visual in power bi don't have this kind of option.
I have 2 requirements one if I can have image column in table or if some how I can change the row color of table on some condition.
Please find the below image.
Thanks
You have two very different requirements. Let's tease them apart:
1) image columns. this is supported in Power BI tables. You need to go to your data model, ensure there is a image URL field that point to a network accessible image (no authentication) and set it to 'image url'. The image will load in the table much like what you showed. One image per column is supported. Please note that if you do this, you should scale your images in your storage to be small enough to load quickly.
2) conditional formatting on tables. That's on our backlog. Right now you can build a custom visual like Nicolo suggest.
Conditional Formatting is now possible in PowerBI:
