Dynamic Formatting based on the slicer selection

Hello All, 

 

I am looking to format my KPI values based on the slicer selection. let say , I have a slicer called "View by" fallowed by Revenue, Margin, "Chargeable Hours"  

and mesure is created like"

viewby=

Var result=

switch(

TRUE(),

'selector view by'[column]="revenue",([Revenue]),

'selector view by'[column]="Margin",([Margin]),

'selector view by'[column]="Chargeable hours",([Chargeable hours]),

)

Return Result, 

 

now i wanted to dymanically format the each mesures for K (no decimal ),M(3 decimal place) or B (3 decimal Place )  fallowd by $ simbol. for except for Chargeable hours. when user select Chargeable hours the format should be 0decimal values

@sumachintalapan it is a better approach, either you go with the out-of-the-box functionality and update your visual using field parameters, or just try to create something convoluted, the choice is yours.

Understood. but the slicer View by is used for other visuals as well. not sure how the filed parameter can mange it other visuals .

@sumachintalapan I would use a different approach, create 3 seperate measures with the format you want and then use a field parameter for the selection of measure and that will do the job.
