Custom numeric format for column

Hello,

inside my report i have numeric measures and columns where i would like to display number in a simplified way.

For example:

  • 1.234.346€ i want to see 1,2M€
  • 12.340€ i want to see 12,3K€
  • 123€ i want to see 123€

For the measures i have managed to do so by adding the dynamic format with this code:

 

SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDMEASURE () <= -1000000, "#,##0.0,,.0M€",
    SELECTEDMEASURE () <= -1000, "#,##0,.0K€",
    SELECTEDMEASURE () < 1000, "#,##0€",
    SELECTEDMEASURE () < 1000000, "#,##0,.0K€",
    "#,##0.0,,.0M€"
)
 
 

 

Now i need to do the same for a column inside a table but i cant use the dynamic format and i have to use the custom options.

Can someone suggest me a custom format to use? I have one for Excel but its not working properly here

Hi @wep 

SELECTEDMEASURE() only works for measures, not for columns in Power BI visuals. If you wanted to use this function on one of your measures for numeric aggregations, i found a good video from Curbal that may help you achieve this.

Please let us know if there's a better way.

@wep , Try using

 

FormattedColumn =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[YourColumn] >= 1000000, FORMAT([YourColumn], "0.0,,") & "M€",
[YourColumn] >= 1000, FORMAT([YourColumn], "0.0,") & "K€",
FORMAT([YourColumn], "0 €")
)
