Display a result formula in a Text function

Hi everyone, 

 

I have  request, is it possible to insert a calculate function result in a new mesure Text? 

I mean,

 

New measure : "Today our turnover up to" & [Turnover]

Turnover = Sum of turnover in decimal number format

 

I tried but the format was deleted automatically. 

Ex : formating 5m€ => display 59787878,0909090 in New measure.

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

@LD1 Yes. It is possible. But as you rightly found out whatever format applied to the [Turnover] will be removed.
But if you still want to apply formating like 5m€ this also is possible but we need to modify the logic of [New measure].   You can try this measure .

 

 

New Measure = "Today our turnover up to " & FORMAT([Turnover], "€#,0,,.00#M") 

 

 

here , FORMAT([Turnover], "€#,0,,.00#M") is used to format the turnover measure with currency symbol, two decimal places and comma as the thousands separator.

@LD1 You can use the FORMAT function, you can find more options here: https://dax.guide/format/

"Today our turnover up to " & FORMAT ( [Total Sales], "$#,0.00" )
-- "Today our turnover up to " & FORMAT ( [Total Sales], "Currency" )
-- "Today our turnover up to " & FORMAT ( [Total Sales], "$#,0,,.0#M" )
-- "Today our turnover up to " & FORMAT ( [Total Sales], "$#,0,,,.0#B" )
