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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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)

Hi - you can do that now in Power BI.
Here is my tutorial on how to do that:
