Dynamically change data format based on slicer selection

[dokat]

Hi,

I have a stacked column report where i would like to chamge data format based on slicer selection. I put the below code under data labels-values, custom labels- field. Code works for the most part except for when trade rate is selected in the slicer. Below you will find the screen shot of results when trade rate is selected. How can i show actual percentage rather than 0.0%. Thanks

Output Sales Format = 
VAR Sales = CALCULATE(Output[Output Selected Calculation])
VAR SlicerSelection = SELECTEDVALUE('Output Slicer Table'[P&L])
VAR FormatString = IF(SlicerSelection = "ASP" || SlicerSelection = "ansp" || SlicerSelection = "cogs", "0.00", IF(SlicerSelection = "Trade Rate", "0.0%", IF(Sales > 1000000, "0.0M", "0.0K")))
VAR RoundedSales = IF(SlicerSelection = "ASP" || SlicerSelection = "ansp" || SlicerSelection = "cogs", ROUND(Sales, 2), IF(Sales > 1000000, ROUND(Sales/1000000, 1), ROUND(Sales/1000, 1)))
RETURN
FORMAT(RoundedSales, FormatString)

@dokat you can take advantage of the new dynamic format option available in Power BI, check out the video here:  From Thousands to Billions: The Power of Dynamic Formatting in Power BI - April 2023 Power BI Update...

i figured out. i modified the code little bit.

Output Sales Format = 
VAR Sales = CALCULATE(Output[Output Selected Calculation])
VAR SlicerSelection = SELECTEDVALUE('Output Slicer Table'[P&L])
VAR FormatString = IF(SlicerSelection = "ASP" || SlicerSelection = "ansp" || SlicerSelection = "cogs", "0.000", IF(SlicerSelection = "Trade Rate",format(CALCULATE(Output[Output Selected Calculation]),"0.0%"), IF(Sales > 1000000, "0.0M", "0.0K")))
VAR RoundedSales = IF(SlicerSelection = "ASP" || SlicerSelection = "ansp" || SlicerSelection = "cogs", ROUND(Sales, 3), IF(Sales > 1000000, ROUND(Sales/1000000, 1), ROUND(Sales/1000, 1)))
RETURN
FORMAT(RoundedSales, FormatString)

@parry2k Thanks. In theory the code i have works in similar way in the vide you shared, The issue i am coming accross is when trade rate slicer is selected it returns "0.0%" as text rather than 20.5% or 38.2%. It iis not returning number.  Strangely all others formula works fine.
