    GOT IT!!!

     

    I took the initial code you sent that fixed the percentage values and switched it out with the new line of code but left the currency values as is. THIS IS THE CODE THAT WORKS. Thank you so much!!!

     

     

    Sales$ (Table) =
    IF (
    ISCROSSFILTERED ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ),
    SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    VALUES('Parameter'[calculations]) = "YoY%",
    SWITCH( TRUE(),
    ABS([Sales$ YoY%]) < 0.1, FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%]," 0.0%"),
    ABS([Sales$ YoY%]) < 1, FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%]," 0.0%"),
    FORMAT([Sales$ YoY%],"0%")
    ),

    VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY Gap", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY Gap], "0,0" ), 12 ),
    VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "Current Year Actuals", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ CY], "0,0" ), 12 ),
    BLANK ()
    ),
    BLANK ()
    )

That works! Thanks a bunch. This is the final DAX:

 

Sales$ (Table) :=
IF (
ISCROSSFILTERED ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ),
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY%", IF (
ABS ( [Sales$ YoY%] ) < 1,
RIGHT ( " " & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY%], "0.0%" ), 6 ),
FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY%], "0%" )
),
VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "YoY Gap", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ YoY Gap], "0,0" ), 12 ),
VALUES ( 'Parameter'[calculations] ) = "Current Year Actuals", RIGHT ( " $" & FORMAT ( [Sales$ CY], "0,0" ), 12 ),
BLANK ()
),
BLANK ()

    If there were negative percentages, how will the code look? Ran into that issue
