Custom Unit Measure

Hi everyone, first post here.

I have a column with a number(decimal number) that represents total Watts produced by a plant. Its a big number and it shows in the "Gauge" visual as "bn" (billions) but i need it to be shown as "G" (Giga). It would be perfect if i could use GigaWatts . How can i achieve this with PBI Desktop??

Thanks everyone in advance.

@amaione,

 

As far as I know, it can not be done directly. You may use developer tools to create a custom visual.
