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.

RE: Number formatting
I agree, custom date format badly needed.
RE: Number formatting
• Add Formatting of numbers to Transform (i.e. what can be done in Modelling)
• Right align numbers in tooltips (they are currently left aligned)
• How to format numbers as results of Count for instance Count Name?
• Allow options to be valid throughout the PBIX file or even throughout several PBIXs for instance, number formatting: chose it once and apply it by default to all
RE: Number formatting
I agree. Specifically, in the "Modeling" screen. For a model with a date column, you can pick from a list of formats. I'd like to be able to enter a custom format.
Or, if it's easy to add another format to the list of formats, I would really like to see "ddd, yyyy-MM-dd" ... or, for example, "Thu, 2016-08-04"
Thanks!
RE: Number formatting
When typing in a custom color hex number into any of the visualization format panes, the window closes after the first three hex numbers are entered. We used to be able to type in the entire number and close by pressing Enter. Any chance we can get the original functionality back? It's a real pain to have to reopen the dialogue after entering only the first three hex numbers!
RE: Number formatting
Definitely need this. I've got a situation where a clients wants to see several years on the same 12 month chart with trend lines. Since there's no "MMM" format I'm stuck with an X axis that reads "May 2016" even if only the year 2015 is selected. The client was cool about it, but was kinda surprised as the Tableau solution they had before seemed to handle it just fine.
A truly exhaustive list of built in formats would suffice for me if there's some huge internal technical hurdle but custom formatting strings would be way better.
It'd be awesome to be able to add labels using formatting string like "0.00 "Units/Hr"" as well.
RE: Number formatting
Totally agree that this is needed. Can't believe that dd-mm-yyyy is not included in the pre-set formats...
RE: Number formatting
Would be important to have this. E. g. to report on monthly data in a table or matrix. The available Month/Year format heavily inflates the column width, so not usable... Something like "MM/yy" or "MMM/yy" would be needed...
RE: Number formatting
Yes please!
RE: Number formatting
The ability to enter and use Custom Date Formats within BI
(E.g. mmm-yy) rather than having to use the pre-set formats.
RE: Number formatting
I want to use 4 digits, and MAN, OKU for money number display unit.
10000 YEN = 1 MAN YEN
100000000 YEN = 1 OKU YEN.
