Visible numeric columns without a format string
"Visible numeric columns without a format string" is one of the governance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n visible numeric column(s) (amounts, quantities) have no format string, so implicit aggregations show unformatted numbers. It is a hygiene note: provable, worth fixing, but it never moves the health score. Set a format string on numeric columns, or hide them and expose measures instead.

Why it matters

How to fix it
Set a format string on numeric columns, or hide them and expose measures instead.
