Format integer number with the thousands icon selected

Hello,

 

I have two metrics. Both have the same format: integer number with the thousands icon selected. One metric is displayed in the format 3.313 while the other is shown as 11 mil. I want the second metric to be displayed like the first. I don't want "mil"; I want to display 10.627. Would someone be so kind as to help me?

 

Thank you very much

Hi @MTrullàs 
You can modify your measure with the format function.
kpi_total_1 = format([your measure 1]+[your measure 2] + [your measure 3] , desired format) .

Hi @MTrullàs 
This is happening because format isn't a part of a measure logic.

So every measure has been formatted separately
Glad to help 🙂

Hello @Ritaf1983 

Thank you very much for your assistance. It works perfectly.

I do have a question, though. Why is it that when the two metrics are identical, the visualizations appear different?

 

Thanks for your comment.
