Change value's format based on another column value

Dear community,

 

Will that be possible to display  - in line or bar chart - values on different format (currency, whole num or %) based on another column ?

As you can see in the 1st screenshort from the Excel data source  where I can show the values on the desired formats

 

 

But when I'm trying to do the same in power BI, I can't as the formatting is applied for the whole Column values

 

 

Is there any workaround solution for this?

 

Many thanks in advance for your support.

    Hi fmouhcine,

     

    This involves something like:

    KPI (Display) =
VAR SelKPI = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[KPI] )
VAR Result =
SWITCH (
    TRUE(),
    SelKPI = "Revenue", "€ " & FORMAT ( [KPI Value], "" ),
    SelKPI = "Volume", "€ " & FORMAT ( [KPI Value], "#,#" ),
    SelKPI = "Target Coverage", FORMAT ( [KPI Value], "#%" )
)

RETURN Result

     

    You'll have to play around with the formatting string in the second argument of the FORMAT function, but that's the rough structure that should work for what you want.
