DYNAMIC FORMAT USING DAX FOR SLICER

Hi everyone! In need of some assistance. I created a dynamic format for a column in my table to be filtered by a specific slicer. Unfortunately, it is sorting the numbers like they are string. I use...

    GOT IT!!!

     

    I took the initial code you sent that fixed the percentage values and switched it out with the new line of code but left the currency values as is. THIS IS THE CODE THAT WORKS. Thank you so much!!!

     

     

    Sales$ (Table) =
    IF (
    ISCROSSFILTERED ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ),
    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    VALUES('Parameter'[calculations]) = "YoY%",
    SWITCH( TRUE(),
    ABS([Sales$ YoY%]) < 0.1, FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%]," 0.0%"),
    ABS([Sales$ YoY%]) < 1, FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%]," 0.0%"),
    FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%],"0%")
    ),

    VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY Gap", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY Gap], "0,0" ), 12 ),
    VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "Current Year Actuals", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ CY], "0,0" ), 12 ),
    BLANK ()
    ),
    BLANK ()
    )

    Add another space and change the 5 to 6.

Instead of all these stunts in the code and workarounds that will soon become hardly readable... why not use the functionality of PBI that's called bookmarks? Instead of a slicer for parameters just use buttons+bookmarks and everything will be easy and simple. By the way, by doing what you're doing right now you're risking that one day there'll be a case you have not thought about and you'll get a messed-up display. Please, for your own good, use buttons, views and bookmarks with simple measures.

    Stunts schmunts.  Try this:

     

     

     

    Sales$ :=
IF (
    ISCROSSFILTERED ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ),
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY%", IF (
            ABS ( [Sales$ YoY%] ) < 1,
            RIGHT ( "  " & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY%], "0.0%" ), 5 ),
            FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY%], "0%" )
        ),
        VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY Gap", RIGHT ( "         $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY Gap], "0,0" ), 12 ),
        VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "Current Year Actuals", RIGHT ( "         $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ CY], "0,0" ), 12 ),
        BLANK ()
    ),
    BLANK ()
)

      You are on a roll! So the currency values have been FIXED and the percentages look good with only a very minor issue. See picture below:
