[FIXED] How to let PowerBI read dot as decimal in csv

Issue

I use R output csv file for powerbi and the decimal in the file is dot

e.g. 27.25 and the PowerBI treat this as Text rather than number. How should I fix this?

because this is .csv file, I will not able to change 27.25 to 27,25 I tried to change the 'reginal setting' to 'English''chinese''us'...not work.

any suggestion? thank you!

Solution

You can use the functionality Using Locale to transform a column to a desired region.

So, I have loaded these values as an example

With Using Locale, I can transform decimals on the expected locality, in this case, any country that uses dots as decimal, I will use English (United States).
