Power BI (Desktop) supports formatting designed in the SSAS cube. However, when I format a measure as \€ #,##0.00;\€ -#,##0.00, the € sign is lost in Power BI. It works in Excel though.

RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
Are you still considering this option to be built?
RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
We have SSAS MD in place for years, now evaluating Power BI vs. other tools for visualisation. We would like to use Power BI, but this is a real showstopper. I really cannot believe that such a bug is unfixed for such a long time. Please take care about the SSAS MD clients and fix this!

'@Power BI Team: Fix this teribble bug asap. It is unbelievable how you can have such a bug in a reporting tool.
RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
omg, how can this not be fixed yet!
RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
Power BI needs to apply full SSAS MD FORMAT_STRING o all visuals - It's wrong that chart axes and values don't apply the SSAS FORMAT_STRING at all.
RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
Or just let us override the format string in Power BI.
RE: Better support for SSAS MD formatting
I forgot to add... The same inconsistency goes with sorted category names. It works correctly in a data table/matrix and the values are sorted according to the underlying cube sorting (i.e. seasons in our case). BUT it doesn't work in any charts. And since it is a MD cube, it doesn't have the option to customize the sort in the data modeling ribbon.
MS Team, please fix these huge issues that prevents rolling out this amazing tool!
