I'm here because I have not find the way to change the display units the way I wanted.
For example, for Millions the system shows M. But I want to show MM instead.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
You can't
In Power BI Desktop your options are limited to:
You're not the only to be bothered by this though.
There's an improvement issue in the Power BI forum here:
Customize the Display Units property in a visual. If you're a registered user you should definitely leave your vote there.

I have a question about the function "Analyse in Excel" or "Analyse in Excel" in German when a PBI (Power BI) report has been published.
I read in a flat table in PBI and create some measures in PBI. Basically, it's about account numbers and the limits. A calculation is not necessary or possible here.
If I now want to analyse the data in Excel Pivot Table, I can only display the measures as values. An analysis of account numbers and limits is not possible, as limits are not measures.
What do I have to do to be able to select original data as values?
Thank you very much for your feedback and best regards

Try adding a measure from the table you are wanting to analyze and then double clicking on the measure value. This will pop open a new sheet and drillthrough to the rows detail behind that cell. It may give you the detail you are wanting. I also believe it will give you proper data types on columns so you can do Excel analysis.
Sorry! I do not get it.
To make it clear - I stripped down a very easy example of my problem:
I'm loading a flat file with account, currency, date and balance information.
The respective Power BI looks like:
After publishing the report into the cloud I would analyse the data within Excel
However, when I try to bring the "balance" information as value in, I'm receiving the following message:
The balance is not a measure in Power BI. Any idea what I can do?
Thank you and best regards

I am trying to siff through a large PBI report and for that I want to be able to determine the active measures and tables in the data model. In others words, I wanna be able to see what's being used from what's unused or obsolete in the model.
Is there, by any chance, a shortcut for that?
Thanks in advance
I think what you are after is RADACAD's amazing PowerBI Helper Utility.
This utility, once installed, is integrated in to the PowerBI external tools ribbon.
See the section at the link above around removing unused fields and measures.
Remove Not-used fields If there is a field not used in any visual, filter, or other calculations, then this is a safe field to be
removed. Power BI Help can identify these fields even if they are DAX
calculated columns or measures. Using the dependency tree of the
measure, it will identify if the field is used in another calculation
that is used in a visual or filter.
I am trying to find an answer if it possible to automate creating powerBI reports for each unique value in one of columns(It's like filtering on whole report for one of the values and publish report than change value to next one and repeat steps for other values)? Is there any fast way to do it? I wrote program to filtering via link and clicking mouse than save links for each person to excel but i wonder if there is more reliable and faster way to do it. I am using PowerBI premium for user.
This is typically called "Report Bursting", or "Data Driven Subscriptions", and here's a walkthrough of how to do it with Power Automate and Power BI.
Why don't you leverage RLS instead of hardcoding filters?
I'm new power BI desktop. I want create a report like this template? I tried but I can't do that.enter image description here
Please help me.
There are a couple of different ways you can achieve this however this is how I would go about it.
The table itself can be created easily by inputting the table visual. Here the settings can be configured through the formatting tab.
The biggest issue you are having looks like it could be to do with the positive, negative numbers. There are actually a couple of really nice visuals that could help you with this: https://app.powerbi.com/visuals
The other alternative is to create your own visuals using R.
Test driving MS Power BI Designer. In the Tabular visualization I can't find way to maintain data source order. I have a specific order I want a text field to be in. It is sorted that way in query but report only allows asc/desc order. Don't want to put 01,02,03 in text field. Also don't want to include "order" field in the visualization. (That would work if I could "hide" field though). Any ideas?
This is a capability that is on the roadmap. If you use Excel, you can see the 'sort by' option in Power Pivot. The same capability will come to Power BI Designer, but it's not there yet.
Appreciate your using Power BI,

There's a way to do this in Power BI Desktop. Check this video at about 10:50.

You'll need to create another column of number values to tell it what order to sort the text values in. You can do that with "Enter Data" if it doesn't already exist.
