Custom formatting number measure

‎07-11-2021 01:56 PM

I have a measure that returns a value say 24.56k. However, I want the format to be #,##0.00;-#,##0.00. I tried changing the format in the custom field in Model view. That didnt seem to work. The DAX FORMAT function changes the value to text which is not what I want. Is this customization possible in Power BI? Thanks for your help.

Hi @keerajvel ,

I am afraid that except setting the Display units as None as mentioned by @parry2k , there is no other way to ensure that both the format is #,##0.00;-#,##0.00 and the data type is numeric...

@keerajvel whatever visual you are using to show the measure, make sure on the format pane, display unit is selected to None
