FORMAT function trouble
Hi, I have a situation, where
I have a simple relation between product and sales order line.

did you try this
format ( calculate ( sum ( sale_order_line[Subtotal by Company Currency] ), sale_order_line,sale_order_line[state] IN {"draft", "sent"} ) , "# ##0.0 ") & SELECTEDVALUE(sale_order_line[company_currency_symbol])- zenisekdSuper User
I did not, because it converts the value to text, which makes it useless for further calculations.
Also, it keeps multiplying the rows.
