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

You would need to write the measure using a FORMAT() function. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee634924.aspx

Thank you but this doesn't solve my question.....I don't want to do a custom format on a text field. I want to add a custom format to the end of a decimal in the form of "x".

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
