DAX - ROUND with IF statement

Hi,

 

I'm having an odd issue, to display the "+" or "-" signs on my measure result I have a quite straight forwards IF statement

ValueTendens= 
VAR RESU = ROUND(([VALUE1]-[VALUE2]);0)
RETURN IF(RESU>0;"+"&RESU;RESU)

The thing is when the result is positive it displays as expected, a rounded number (+4) but when the result is negative it displays not rounded (-3,1212).

 

I don't get it.

    hi KelvinMorel 

    try include RESU into format. it looks like data types issue

    ValueTendens = 
VAR RESU = ROUND(([VALUE1]-[VALUE2]);0)
RETURN IF(RESU>0;"+"&RESU;format(RESU;""))

    Hi,

     

    I'm sorry, just found a workaround, I guess:

    ValueTendens= 
VAR RESU = ROUND(([VALUE1]-[VALUE2]);0)
RETURN IF(RESU>0;"+"&RESU;""&RESU)

     I'm still not understanding why, any explanation it's welcome.
