Dynamic String Expression in Tabular Editor in my Calculation group

Hello,

 

is there a way to make my calculated group change the string format based on the measure I give it (I give quite a few)

 

some are numbers with a format of "#,0"

some are precentages that need %

some are currecny that need $

 

like this :

 

 

 

i really dont want to creat 1,000 measure for the time intelegance so i thought a calculated group will solve it but now i face another wall

 

thanks guys

      ok, I read the article AND saw the video and read this one as well

      Controlling Format Strings in Calculation Groups - SQLBI

      but...

      in the words of Michael Scott "explain it to me as if I were a five year old"

       

      I just don't understand

      I have 3 types. $, %, and #,0

      how will it know when to use what?

       

      do i need to make another table and specify that each mesure should be a different type?

       

      MeasureType
      Measte 1

      $

      Measure 2 %
      Measure 3#,00
