I am attempting to change my MTD, QTD, YTD values to percentages where appropriate.
I have a dynamic measure that gives me both whole numbers and percentages. I am trying to figure out how to write a measure that I can apply to the custom formatting function option.
I've gotten as far as:
Dynamic_Format =
VAR CurrentValue = SELECTEDMEASURE()
VAR FormatAsPercent = FORMAT(CurrentValue, "0.00%")
VAR FormatAsWholeNumber = FORMAT(CurrentValue, "0")
RETURN
???
but I'm not sure where to go from here. Additionally, my dynamic measure has a slicer attached to it based on this table:
Where I added a DataType column hoping to do something like, IF 1 then FORMAT(as whole number), IF 2 then FORMAT(as decimal), IF 3 then FORMAT(as percentage).... something to that effect.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @stevie_westside
You can use dynamic string formatting for this goal.
