Bug in April 2023 update - Dynamic format string

[Mahesha_Krishna]

Hi All,

I have tried the new Dynamic format strings for measures but have noticed for few of the numbers (% Ratings) in dashboard show wrong values. If you check in the attached Dashboard, if the % Rating is 10%,20%,30%,40%,50%,60%,70%,80%,90% or 100% then the rating is multiplying with 11. Example if the Rating is 0.6(60%) then it display 660%. Apart from these rounding rating numbers everything else display perfectly. Even the bar size looks fine. see pics for refferences.

- creating measure for % Rating with Dynamic format

- Selecting the format and specifying format for the % Rating and adding if the % Chg is >1.645 then Green dot, <1.645 Red Dot else nothing.

-  Created the Matrix view with bars as conditional format for values(%Rating). Here for Measure_1 BB it's 660% but actaul value is 60% and for Measure_2 all are 100% but display as 1100% means it's multiplying 11.

- But for Measure_7 all the values looks fine because values are not in the range of 10%,20%,30%,40%,50%,60%,70%,80%,90% or 100%

It's crucial for our Dashboards, please help ?

Hi @Mahesha_Krishna,

It seems like a known issue about dynamic formatting features to get the wrong values. Power bi team are working on it, and I will update here if any ETA.
