nishantjainuk / SimpleWaterfall-PowerBI

A Power BI Visual that allows users to create simple waterfall charts just by using measures. The standard waterfall chart isn't design to create multi step waterfall and requires the underlying data to be in a particular layout. You can create multi step waterfall. This is very useful in Finance report where you need to create causal reports.

Localization #42

Open tamas-karacsony opened 3 years ago

tamas-karacsony commented 3 years ago

Is there or will be there any opportunity for localization? The most important is the Value format, which is M, bn and so on now and standard Power BI uses localized versions of these abbreviations.

@tamas-karacsony The visual has localization built into it. Here is a screenshot of the visual in German.

Can you send me a screenshot of the error in case you don't see this?

Thanks Nishant

Dear Nishant,

if I define "Auto" Value Format then I get the following result: image Here you can find "bn" and "M" abbreviation for scale, which means "billion" and "Million". This called "short scale" and in Hungary (and other parts in Europe) we use "long scale", which use different name for same scales. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales Operating system localization handles this appropriately, for example it uses "mrd" instead "bn" and "m" (lowercase) instead "M". The add-in does not use this localization and shows US abbreviations for scale. (I don't know if this is a standard opportunity in add-ins or needs some development)

Thanks, Tamas

@tamas-karacsony Apologies for the delay in responding. I am now actively working on adding the localization feature to the visual. I will let you know once it is done.

Thanks
