    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Create a column using below dax expression:

     

    Column = IF('Table'[Attribute] ="Volume",FORMAT('Table'[  Value],"general number"),IF('Table'[Attribute] ="Speed",FORMAT('Table'[  Value],"fixed"),BLANK()))

     

     And you will see:

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

Thank you for your reply. That will not work in my case because I do not want speed in whole number. Speed should be decimal and volume should be whole even though they are both coming from the same column.

Anonymous you cannot have different formats for the same column and until you create a column or measure and do conditional formatting and that will your value to the text.

 

something like this but the new column will be a text column

New Column = 
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
Table[Column] IN { "Weight", "Speed" } , FORMAT( Table[Value], "####0.00" ),
Table[Column] IN { "Heigh"} , FORMAT( Table[Value], "####0" )
)

, 

One other way is to use calculation groups but it is a bit complex but can surely used and you can create a calculation group outside the power bi file using Tabular Editor and it is not officially supported though.

 

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
