I would like to know how to change the standard format for numbers in Power BI.
The software I use separates decimals by coma "000.000,00", but the idea is to set that to US format: "000,000.00".
How can I fix that?

There are two approaches to this problem.
If all the data sources you have in the current Power BI file are in the European format, you can set the locale of the file accordingly:
File -> Options and settings -> Options
Once set, Power BI can identify the format for numbers correctly when you change the data type in Query Editor.
If you're just catering for a particular data source, you can use the transformation
Replace Values
to swap.
with,
, and then change the data type to decimal number afterwards.
