Hi @Everyone
I’m trying to replicate a Tableau-like behavior in Power BI with dynamic formatting for a commission measure. I created a measure with the following DAX:
commission_formatted_new =
SUMX(fact, fact[fee] * fact[rate_factor])
I then applied a dynamic format string using this DAX:
VAR currency = SELECTEDVALUE('currency'[Destination Currency Symbol], "*")
VAR currentvalue = [commission_formatted_new]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
currentvalue <= 1000, currency & " #,0.00",
currentvalue <= 1000000, currency & " #,0,.00K",
currentvalue <= 1000000000, currency & " #,0,,.00M",
currentvalue <= 1000000000000, currency & " #,0,,,B"
)
What could be causing this inconsistency between the table and card visuals? Am I missing something about how dynamic format strings work in Power BI?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Change the format setting in the card from Auto to None.

my value = 8421234
Format rule =
VAR currency = "$"
VAR currentvalue = [my value]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
currentvalue <= 1000, currency & " #,0.00",
currentvalue <= 1000000, currency & " #,0,.00K",
currentvalue <= 1000000000, currency & " #,0,,.00M",

@kapildua16 , Try using
commission_formatted_new =
SUMX(fact, fact[fee] * fact[rate_factor])
commission_formatted_display =
VAR currency = SELECTEDVALUE('currency'[Destination Currency Symbol], "*")
VAR currentvalue = [commission_formatted_new]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
currentvalue < 1000, currency & " " & FORMAT(currentvalue, "#,0.00"),
currentvalue < 1000000, currency & " " & FORMAT(currentvalue / 1000, "#,0.00") & "K",
currentvalue < 1000000000, currency & " " & FORMAT(currentvalue / 1000000, "#,0.00") & "M",
currentvalue < 1000000000000, currency & " " & FORMAT(currentvalue / 1000000000, "#,0.00") & "B",
currency & " " & FORMAT(currentvalue, "#,0.00")
)
