    Yes, you can use FORMAT function.

     

    SWITCH(FINANCIAL_KPIs_Link[NUMBER],
       1, FORMAT ( [Price_List_Errors], "#,##" ),
       2,  FORMAT ( [Sales], "#,##0 €" ),
       3, FORMAT(GP, "percent")
)

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly. 

 

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to individual variables (Red for bad, green for good)

    Not directly. But you can use 2 cards and lay them one over the other. One is formatted to text red and bound to the measure like

    IF(Variable < 0, Variable, BLANK())

     and the other card hast text green and the measure is vice versa

     

    IF(Variable >= 0, Variable, BLANK())

    Hi brianhackett5,

    Have you resolved your issue? If you have, please mark the right reply as answer, so more members benefit more from here. As the vik0810 said, we can't add the conditional formatting directly, please try the solution he shared. And please feel free to ask if you have other issue.

    Best Regards,
    Angelia
