Bug with dynamic format

There is small bug with dynamic format.  If we change name of the table, in every measure formula for all columns or measures which are from that table are automatically changed. For instance if I change 'Table' to 'New Table'  in dax,  change will happen automatically. However, for dax in dynamic format the changes don't take place, and Measure breaks.

Hi @GeorgeVepkhvadz ,

The FORMAT function can also be used in a measure DAX expression to conditionally apply a format string, but the drawback is if the measure was a numeric data type, the use of FORMAT changes the measure to a text data type. As a text data type the measure is then no longer usable as values in visuals.
