    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 ()
    )

What if there are negative numbers? I tried applying  the same logic of your previous DAX to other columns with negative percentages and negative dollar amounts. I ran into this:

    Hi

    Didn't I say already that you'll be having a pretty hard time to get this to work correctly? And there'll probably always be cases not accounted for... If I were you, I'd stay away from such BRITTLE CODE.
