Add the possibility to export to CSV with support for regional settings (decimal separator, column separator, etc.)

RE: Export to CSV: regional settings support

My organization is trying to replace all of our Crystal/BOE reporting with Power BI reporting, but I can't do that without this feature. We currently use scheduled reports to generate pipe-delimited CSV files to provide data to several third party companies on a weekly basis. I cannot currently replicate this functionality in Power BI.

I think this feature is not added on purpose

Biggest issue for me is that PowerBI desktop uses one delimiter and PowerBI services another

I can't beleive this is not already implemented. Most basic feature and we should not even have to request it... You are one of the largest software companies in the world and this is one of the most common issues when managing files with data since the 1990's... come'on...

Implementing this feature would make the my day-to-day use of Power BI so much more convenient, and enable me to concentrate more my time in other areas. Please implement this feature :)

RE: Export to CSV: regional settings support

Please, this feature is really needed to avoid having to export to Excel and then again to csv just to have correct regional settings in csv files (we are talking about semicolon delimiter and decimal separator). thanks.
