Description
⚠️ Problem
Power BI isn't very clear about what currency is selected.
🛠️ Solution
Show all cost data (KPIs, charts, and tables) with a formatted currency value.
ℹ️ Additional context
Power BI allows hard-coding currency, but we need to investigate how to set it dynamically from another Currency field.
