Known issue - Currency format is unavailable in web modeling
When working in the Power BI service, you can edit your semantic models. Within the Edit tables screen, you can change the Format property for a columns and measure. If you change the column's or measure's Format value to Currency, the value doesn't show in the currency format. You also might not be able to interact with the column or measure anymore. The change was applied on the model even though you can't see it reflected in the Edit tables screen.
Status: Fixed: April 25, 2024
Product Experience: Power BI
Symptoms
You can't change your column's or measure's Format value to Currency. The Currency option might not show up under the Format property pane or the top ribbon.
Solutions and workarounds
If you're working within Power BI, you can work around this issue by making the change in Power BI Desktop. You can download the .pbix file, make the change in Power BI Desktop, and then upload the .pbix file back to the service. If you're working in a data warehouse, lakehouse, or datamart, you can work around this issue by using the XMLA endpoint to make the change.
