Format numbers in MATRIX

I'm loading data from a datasource and using MATRIX  for output.  I need some values to be displayed in decimal numbers and some values to be displayed as %'s. Is this possible?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Please refer to my .pbix file.

     

     

    1. “I need only totals as totals of Actuals”

    For this requirement, you can create a measure like this.

    Measure = 
VAR x = 
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[CountryRegion]),
    "dd", FORMAT( SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]), "Percent" ),
    FORMAT( SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]), "#, 0.00")
)
VAR y = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Sale 2014]),
    FILTER( ALL(Sales), Sales[CountryRegion] = MAX(Sales[CountryRegion]) && Sales[Month] = "December")
)
RETURN
IF(
    HASONEFILTER(Sales[Month]),
    x,y
)

    2. Show the border of "Variance"

    This requirement is currently not possible, but you can mark ‘Variance’ in other ways.

    Firsr, create a measure like this.

    Conditional format = 
IF(
    MAX(Sales[Month]) = "January",
    "Green"
)

     Second, add the measure to the 'conditional formatting' label.

Hi Fowmy,

 

Thanks a lot. That works !

My values do come up as you've mentioned. But my % totals now add up, instead I need it to be displayed as follows:

Bank Funds
   Actuals8% 
  Strategic3% 
  Variance5%545
Cash  
  Actuals3% 
  Strategic4% 
 Variance2%452
Total25% 

 

I'm using the formula you'd mentioned below to get this displayed as % for Actual, Strategic and Variance and decimal for Funds

But my total needs to only add totals(Actuals)

And also, my totals come up in Bank and Cash. (I'm using MATRIX in Power BI)

        HI Fowmy 

         

        This is the best I can provide:

         

        My source Data

         

        My required output

         

         

         

        This is what I've done in Power BI

         

         

        My Measure value2 has the formula you mentioned:

        value2 = var kpw=SELECTEDVALUE('Sheet1 (2)'[invest]) return switch(kpw, "FUM",FORMAT(sum('Sheet1 (2)'[Value]),"#,00.00"), FORMAT(SUM('Sheet1 (2)'[Value]),"0.00%"))
         
        When I then use a MATRIX, I get the values as below:
         
         
         

        I dont need the totals in Propert, Cash , DSG and Long-Term. Also, is there a way I can highlight the borders of Variance alone as shown in the required output?
