custom format code
Hello,
This is a basic question. In excel I have the ability to display data as a custom format code of 0.00x (i.e. I'm working with Forward P/E multipliers that are formatted with a lower case "x" after the number).
I'm not seeing how I can do this in BI.
Please help.

In Power BI, you can directly add custom format code. But you can change the formate for data field under Modeling tab.
Or you can use Text.Format() in Power Query. See: The Text.Format() Function In Power BI/Power Query M
Regards,
You would need to write the measure using a FORMAT() function. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee634924.aspx
