    Hi, Ferha_Jafri 

    I’ve provided two solutions for you:

    1.Firstly, modify the format as follows:

    var selected_toggle1 = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])
    var var_value1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),
    selected_toggle1 = "Total Premium","$#,0" ,
    selected_toggle1 = "Total Incurred", "$#,0" ,
    selected_toggle1 = "No. of Claims", "#,0"
    ,"0"
    )
     RETURN var_value1

    The error occurred previously because you returned 0 instead of “0”. The output might be a number rather than a string.

     

    2.Secondly, directly modify the measure to the following measure:

    Measure = 
     var selected_toggle = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])
     var var_value = SWITCH(TRUE(),
    selected_toggle = "Total Premium",FORMAT([Sum_Premium],"$#,0"),
    selected_toggle = "Total Incurred",FORMAT([Sum_Incured],"$#,0"),
    selected_toggle = "No. of Claims",FORMAT([# Claims],"#,0"),0
    )
     RETURN var_value

    This way, the format will be corrected directly when the measure outputs.

     

    3.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

     

    Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.
