Every time I create a measure I have to format it as “,” and 0 decimals. This appears to be the most common format and it would make sense to make this the default.

RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
I agree. We need an option to set the default format for numbers with a comma (or the default thousands separator set at the OS level), and 0 decimal points. for all old and new PBIX files.

RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
Formatting depends on the data type.
The default for Decimal type should be culture-specific thousand separator with two decimals
The default for Whole Number should be culture-specific thousand separator with no decimals

RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
I get after my developers when they don't put this in, but I have to agree it should be the default...!!!! It was a good chuckle on a Friday that a lot of others hate this too! Please fix!
RE: Default measure format to comma and zero decimals
I agree with the comment to allow setting the default format via an option.
