Thank you, Lars. Your post about it was much easier to find than to locate the information in the Microsoft Docs. Really appreciate that you blogged about this.

Hi Francois ,

Als Antwort auf Curt Hagenlocher. The documentation for Text.Lower, Text.Upper and Text.Proper has now been fixed.

„In this case, the culture that is set on your operating system is automatically used.“

Actually, it’s a little more complicated than that. The culture is stored alongside the queries in the document, so if I create a document on my work machine and send it to you, the default culture will be „en-US“ no matter what culture your machine is set to. We call this the „document culture“, and you can change it in Power BI Desktop by going to the „Regional Settings“ in the Current File settings of section of the Options dialog. There’s similar functionality in Excel as well.

Hi Lars,
regarding Text.Lower, Text.Proper and Text.Upper and the culture parameter. Different OS-cultures have different rules for which lower case letter corresponds to which upper case letter and vice versa. Some do not have the concept of upper- and lower case letters at all. I believe Hebrew and Arabic are two of them. You being in Germany, the German letter ‚ß‘ (small letter sharp s (DEC-223)) in a string ‚groß‘ would probably be upper cased to ‚GROSS‘ using the German culture. Using the Danish culture it would be ‚GROß‘. Being a little bit lazy I didn’t change the culture of my computer to German to test this so I presume it is like this ( ‚groß‘ to ‚GROSS‘), but even if not you will be able to find many such examples.

Bets regards Jes.
