      Try this:

       

      Vol(Cases / Suom) =
      IF (
      t_sales_aggregate[Actual or Forecast] = "Forecast",
      ( t_sales_aggregate[Volume (Cases)] && t_sales_aggregate[Volume (SUOM)] )
      * AVERAGE ( t_sales_aggregate[Forecast Growth] ),
      FORMAT(( t_sales_aggregate[Volume (Cases)] && t_sales_aggregate[Volume (SUOM)] ), "General Number")
      )

       

      This will ensure that the data type of the result if true is the same as data type of the result if false i.e. Decimal Number in your case.

       

      Give it a try.
