Dynamic Formatting In Switch() without Format()

Hi-

 

I have a switch function where i switch between whole numbers and percentages. This switch function is inside a matrix with conditional formatting.

 

I need the the the switch fucntion to display as a whole number, and the percent to display as a percentage. Unforuntatly the Format() function doesn't work for me because it converts the value to text and therefore my conditional formatting doesn't work. Are there any workarounds to this?

Hi @Anonymous 

Create measures, then configure conditional formatting for Measure  using the Measure 2

Measure = IF(SUM(Sheet2[value])=INT(SUM(Sheet2[value])),FORMAT(SUM(Sheet2[value]),"General Number"),FORMAT(SUM(Sheet2[value]),"Percent"))

Measure 2 = IF(SUM(Sheet2[value])>1,1,0)
