IF value column is blank return a string (HOW??)

Because you're not able to have a single column contain mutiple types of data you need to ensure the output is of the same data type.
I know in some programs zeros can be displayed as a hyphens (-). However, I do not see this option within Power Bi. You could always treat these values as text, but then would lose functionality.
Right, you would have to have your [Value] & "" in the first case and this would make it text so it would be compatible with a dash (-) character. But, now you have a text column and that may or may not be OK.
So how would you suggest the code to be?
