The number formatting should be in accordance with excel. The options available in excel for number formatting is quite brilliant.
I hope Power BI can somehow integrate custom number formatting in the desktop version.
Thank you.

Power Bi should be available to create a custom unit format like (w) in electricity power!

Please add.

It seems that currently there is no option that would simply add a bracket to negative numbers for formatting purposes. Please add this as I believe a lot of people need this simple formatting feature. Thanks.

It looks like the latest version of Report Server included the ability for "modeling" an actual number rather than just a measure, so now I can add a thousands separator everywehere I need to without having a duplicate field just for that.
This has definitely moved forward a long way, although not quite as far as asked for.

I prefer to see negative numbers expressed in brackets and red. KO

Need to include India's Number Format.
Currently we have US number format in the App due to which it's creating confusion and difficulties in visualization.
For Example in Power BI Desktop App it is 150,443,572 which is a US format but in India it's 15,04,43,572.
So, it will be better for visualization if we also include Indian Number Format.

Agreed! What good is showing us all those special codes that go into formatting the different date options if we can't then USE them to create our own!
Specifically, I'm looking for yyyy MMM, or "2018 Mar"

To have the option of adding parenthesis on a number when it is negative - conditional formatting.

In most Common Wealth countries the date format is dd/mm/yy. The slicer is confusing to my customers in India as is shows the date in US format.
