I've been trying to set dynamic format for measure on bar/column chart, but when data labels' display units is set to "none", Power BI ignores my dynamic format UNLESS I set decimal places to > 0 – then it works. However, I don't want those decimal places. Weird thing is that in "Show as a table" view it works all the time.
Also, here is the code for measure format:
Please provide sample data that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).

Here is the sample data:
Customer | Sales |
Customer 1 | 123 |
Customer 2 | 12345 |
Customer 3 | 1234567 |
Here is the sample measure:
Sum of Sales =
SUM('Table'[Sales])
Here is the format string for the measure:
VAR __AbsVal = ABS(SELECTEDMEASURE())
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
__AbsVal < 1000, "#,0",
__AbsVal < 1000000, "#,0,.K",
__AbsVal < 1000000000, "#,0,,.M",
"#,0,,,.B"
)
This is what I expect:
This is what I see on the bar chart:
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SELECTEDMEASURE() < 1000, "#",
SELECTEDMEASURE() < 1000000, "#,##0,.0 K",
SELECTEDMEASURE() < 1000000000, "#,##0,,.0 M",
"#,##0,,,.0 B"
)
this should get you closer. Still has one decimal, but I'm sure they will address this bug soon: Dynamic Format Strings Bug - Microsoft Power BI Community
I know it is a bug, that is why I originally posted this in the "Issues" forum, but somebody moved it here, without any notice.
I also know adding one decimal place helps (as I mentioned in my first post), but I would like to be able to set a dynamic format to 0 decimal places and use it on bar/column chart. As for now it's just not possible.
Nevertheless, thank you for trying to help, much appreciated.
