Customized Format

Hi there,

 

is there a possibility to customize the numbers in a visual like for example: 81 abc ?

I´m looking for an equivalent in excel: #.##0,00 "abc"

I´m only able to model the figures in the pre-set formats like currency etc.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Felix

Hey,

I Know that this in not exactly what you want, but

you can use a measure like this:

--> create new measure.

--> type

yourMeasure = sum(Table1[Column1]) & "abc"

Thanks for your suggestion,

 

but as you mentioned I´m looking for a directly visible unit

Try using both format and concatenate at the same time

 

FORMAT(<Value to be formatted>,<Format Pattern>) & " " or  

CONCATENATE(string_expression,CONCATENATE(string_expression,string_expression))

Not sure how to use your formula.. I´m not into DAX. Does it runs with a new Measure or where is the formala to put in?

Clik right on the left side "Field" and select new Measure, or find button in ribbon menu.

I did this already. The result is the following:

But my aim was to get the unit within the chart.

Ok, right now there is no built in function in PBI for this.

Check if this can help you:
