--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to suggest two improvements on the formatting of Currency Symbols in measures or columns in Power Bi and I would like your opinion.

There is the “Currency General” format that uses computer regionalization, but in Brazilian Portuguese, there are some scenarios that even with the correct region, the correct currency does not appear, which would be R$ and not $.


There is a very large amount of Currency Symbols options and it is very difficult to find the desired option, thinking about it, I have two suggestions to improve the experience with this interface option:


1 – Search Bar:

Place a search bar to facilitate the location of the desired currency symbol with the option to pin, which I will detail in the second suggestion.


2 – Pin in the “Common currency symbols”:

Create the option to pin the currency you want in the “Common Currency Symbols” options as is done in the opening file menu.

In the image below, we can see how the buttons to appear (1) would appear and we can see how they could appear fixed at the top to facilitate the search (2).

This is a suggestion that I believe can help many people who do not use the most common currencies worldwide. I believe that one of the two or two suggestions together would be very well accepted in Power Bi.


Please vote, share and tell me what your opinion is.

May the force be with you!
