Concatenate Measure & Retain Formatting

Hello Good Day,

 

When i conctatenate a string to a measure "value", the measure "AvgValue" loses its formatting

 

For example, if the measure [value] result is 100,000

and if i use the below measure:

AvgValue = "The average value is " & [value]

the result is --> The average value is 100000

I am now missing the "," in the number.

 

Anyway to RETAIN the formatting in the concatenated measure?

 

Cheers

    Adjust the value with the FORMAT function.

    AvgValue = "The average value is " & FORMAT([Value], "0,0")


    If you need decimal places, do it "0,0.00"
