DAX equation for thousand separator

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

have a problem with the resulting format of a number. Have the following measure / DAX equation

tested cases = 
var txt = "number of cases: "
var nrCases=  sum(table[column])
return
CONCATENATE(txt; CONCATENATE(nrCase; " €"))

I would like to format the resulting number to be like this 13.500  (with a dot as separator) independent of my geographic location! It should be possible, right?

Thanks in advance

Try

format(CONCATENATE(txt; CONCATENATE(nrCase; " €")),"##.###")

Hi @Anonymous ,

When you have your measure up go to the Modeling tab and select the format for your measure.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

thanks @Nathaniel_C  but this wouldn't work here, (see screenshot below).  And the Dax equation is confuing me, have you tried it yourself?

@Anonymous ,

or use Format

if you use DAX to create a measure for the field you are using you can wrap that in the format function, e.g.

Measure = FORMAT( SUM( Table[Sales]), $#,##0;($#,##0) )

The format function can take user defined formats as shown above (above is brackets for negative, comma separated dollar format.
For a bigger list of user defined function see here:
