Hi,

I have below measure where it formats sales in millions $0.0M format. I add this measure to multi row card under fields. However it reads measure results as text. How can i format number in millions in multi row card?

NS = VAR NetSales = SUM([Values])

RETURN

SWITCH(TRUE(),

[Net Sales] <1000000, FORMAT('P&L'[Net Sales],"$#0,K"),

[Net Sales] >=1000000, FORMAT('P&L'[Net Sales],"$#,##,,M"),

FORMAT('P&L'[Net Sales],"##,##0")

)

Please see below $182M showing under card title?

How do you create calculation groups? Do you have an example.

@dokat you should use calculation groups to change the format based on the value and then it will be used as number not text.
