Number format

Dear all , 

I have a measure which returns me value such as 

1000

23

3200

2

500000

 

I want to return 

1k

23

3.2k

500k

 

I tried using format into thousand but it converts all numbers to K format 

I want only those numbers to turn in K format which are greater than 1000 

 

Need help 

Regards 

Sujit

Ok friends 

I tried and I reached to conclusion

 

Loss = var a = MEASURE 

RETURN IF(a>=1000,Format(a,"#,.#K"),a)

@Sujit_Thakur , In model view , you have property. Once you click on a column then you will be able set its property there you can set format -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-custom-format-strings

 

or you can use the format command. Or can mention format in measure/column tools

 

The above article also contain how to give format string
