Every time I create a measure I have to format it as “,” and 0 decimals. This appears to be the most common format and it would make sense to make this the default.

I see a button "post a comment" (lead to here) and another one that says "needs votes" and does nothing. Where do I vote?

Maybe we need a shortcut!

It would be better to be able to set your own default format, rather than be stuck with anyone else's idea of the most common format.

RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
Formatting depends on the data type.
The default for Decimal type should be culture-specific thousand separator with two decimals
The default for Whole Number should be culture-specific thousand separator with no decimals

RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
I get after my developers when they don't put this in, but I have to agree it should be the default...!!!! It was a good chuckle on a Friday that a lot of others hate this too! Please fix!
RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
I agree with the comment to allow setting the default format via an option.
RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
Why can't we set the format as an option for the pbix, instead of having one default value "locked-in"? This application has probably fewer user-selectable options than almost any other MS product!!
