    When I upload data to the Power BI Service and also when I export data from the Power BI Service to .csv files they always use american value delimiters.

    For example:

    Two thousand euros and twenty-two cents

    American: 2,000.22 €
    German/Europe: 2.000,22 €


    For our non technically proficient employees this can be a big problem ;-)

    Also the export Data function make use of "," instead of ";" which would be the correct delimiter for .csv files in germany.

    Would be realy nice if you can implement this feature in any way.

    I have the same problem (Swedish), my business users wan't to see the example above as "2 000,22".
    The same problem exist in PBI Mobile app which is the main reason for my users.
