Change Format on Visual calculation

Hi, i have created a visual calculation, running sum. Where do i change the figure to pounds etc? - this seems to be difficult unlike formatting a column but im sure its not?

  • Found it!  Edited the calculation then went to General and under data format you select apply settings to and select the visual claculation there

  • Hi dommyw277 ,
    You can follow these steps to get the desired formatting : 

    • Create a normal DAX measure in the model (e.g., [Sales Running Total])

    • Format it in Model → Fields → Measure properties → Format = Currency (£)

    Hope this solution helps you make the most of Power BI! If it did, click 'Mark as Solution' to help others find the right answers.
