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.
