Hi Folks.
using the awesome Tabular Editor, I created a calculation group to format values in $ or Hours depending the selectedvalue of a drop down. That works fine with my values. The problem is the title of my visual is also dynamic ("Project Hours" or "Project $"), but as soon as I introduce the value formating in the visual, my title turns into an ugly "$#,##0" or "#,##0h" instead of the string expression. I tried to avoid the formating of the text measure following the Great Marco Russo's article here, with selectedvalueformatstring() expression, but then the title just doesn't show up at all... 😞
Any idea on how to bypass the formatting for dynamic text measures?
Thx a lot,
Ben

Hi, @BenCardineau -
Are you trying to use a Measure to define the Title Text? If so, when you define the text string measure, you need to exclude it from your Calculation Group rules. I think you need to add a ISSELECTEDMEASURE() condition to your calculation groups so it focus on the Metric Measures only, and ignores String Measures.
For example:
Metric Measure = SUM ( [Amount] )
Text Measure = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( [Project Type] , "Hours" ) = "Dollar" , "Project $", "Project Hours")
In the calculation group expression, the following is required.
IF ( NOT( ISSELECTEDMEASURE( [Mertric Measure] ) ), SELECTEDMEASURE() , IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( [Project Type] , "Hours" ) , Use Dollars , Use Hours ) )
In the Expression Format, the following is added.
IF ( NOT( ISSELECTEDMEASURE( [Mertric Measure] ) ), "" , IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( [Project Type] , "Hours" ) , Use Dollars format , Use Hours format ) )
I hope this helps you find the right solution.
Hi Ben,
I am facing a similar problem, did the solution work for you? Or how did you fix this? 🙂
Hope you can help, as i am really stuck here 😞
Hi @Daryl-Lynch-Bzy thx for your inputs! Yes, that's in essence what I had done... I replicated it in a brand new file (with exact same code as in the initial file), where it worked ok. After scratching my head around this for some time, I believe it's due to the fact that my initial file has RLS, and some roles in RLS do filter the 'Selection' field ("hours" or "$")... Do that make sense to you, that RLS may affect like this, even in desktop?
Anyway, thx again for your help!!
Ben
