Dynamic x axis with different formatting in a bar chart

Hi,

 

I'm trying to have a bar chart with a dynamic x-axis based on a slicer selection. The users should be able to select % or # in a slicer and the result should either be shown in percentage or whole number. The issue that I'm facing is that I can't seem to be able to get the fomatting done correctly.

 

I've tried different expressions but they all seem to format the values as text. And it doesn't seem like I can have text as "Values" in a bar chart. It works fine in a table, but not in a bar chart.

 

[Package Conversion] and [Packages] seen below are two separate measures.

 

My expression is:

Packages Confirmed = 
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(MeasureSelection[Selection]),
    SWITCH(
        VALUES(MeasureSelection[Selection]),
        "%",
        FORMAT([Package Conversion],"Percent"),
        "#",
        FORMAT([Packages],"General number")
    )
)

 

 

I've also tried with this expression as I saw in another post, but I didn't get it to work either.

Packages Confirmed = 
SWITCH(
    VALUES(MeasureSelection[Selection]), 
    "%",
    FORMAT([Package Conversion],"0.00%;(0.00%);0"),
    "#",
    FORMAT([Packages],"0.00;(0.00);0")
)

 

Is this possible in Power BI? Or do I have to look into calculation groups in Tabular Editor?

 

Sincerely

Dash
