Thanks this works in a table, but doesn't work when adding in a slicer.

Say for example I needed a matrix in Gender by year with a larger dataset, and then want to filer by qualification

Filter = Dip

                16/17             17/18         18/19        19/20          20/21

Male         222 (220)       256(255)    212(210)    248(250)    227(225)

Female      229 (230)       246(245)    232(230)    248(250)    207(205)

Would I need to add multiple columns in? In brackets is the rounded numbers, don't need to to displayed this way, but this is what should be pulling through rather than the whole number.

Thank you very much

hi Suzie_Suze_Sue1 

you would need a measure like this:

measure = 
VAR _sum = SUM(TableName[FTE])
RETURN
MROUND(_sum, 5)

 

with the sample data you provided in the original post and changing 5 to 2, it worked like this:

 

p.s. please consider @someone, if you seek further suggestions.
