Custom Format - via Tabular Editor (thousands)
Hi 101Mathew ,
If I understand correctly you are setting the format string expression for the Calculation Item? I believe you need to wrap the expression in quotation marks for calculation items - see Matt Allington's blog post as an example https://exceleratorbi.com.au/dynamic-formatting-of-switch-measures/
Where the expression already has quotation marks in it I've had success replacing them with /. So for some calculation items I've had to go from "£"#,0.00;-"£"#,0.00;"£"#,0.00 to "\£#,0.00;-\£#,0.00;\£#,0.00" - I believe this would work in your example if you put the required amount of decimal places in?
Not sure if that's what you are after

Pragati11 Not really - but a the custom format that works on that might also work on the tabular editor format string
