Solved: Re: Custom Number Format Preview Different From Vi...

Anonymous · ‎06-15-2021

This is driving me crazy. I simply want to display 100000 as $100K+.

I created a simple scalar measure (measure = 100000). I used the custom number format and the preview displays what I want.

But then, using any visual type, it does not display the custom number format like the preview:

Any ideas?

@Anonymous I did the format to $#,##0"+" and changed to auto and getting this:

This seems like a bug.

Using "$#,##0," returns "$100" as expected but putting text after that final comma causes problems when setting the format string for the measure whereas defining the measure as FORMAT( 100000, "$#,##0,K+" ) acts as expected.

Thank you - you're my hero. That solved my problem, but I think @AlexisOlson is right though that there's a bug.

@Anonymous how about auto?

In the image above Display Units is set to none. Setting to thousands doesn't work either.

@Anonymous what is in the preview that you are not seeing with the actual measure?
