    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Change the measure format:
    1 - you can add format to the DAX code:

     

     

     

    VAR CY =
    SELECTEDMEASURE ()
VAR PY =
    CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE (), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) )
VAR YOY = CY - PY
RETURN
    FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( YOY, PY ), "Percent" )

     

     

     

     

    2 - Change the Measure format:

     

     

     

    VAR CY =
    SELECTEDMEASURE ()
VAR PY =
    CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE (), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) )
VAR YOY = CY - PY
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( YOY, PY )

Anonymous and I more thing I will not use FORMAT function to change it to percent, it will make your measure a text and you will not be able to visualize that measure in charts. FYI
