Hello,
I create a special format value and visible in the table when , for example, I use a special converter like as:
56.90 EUR/ML
12.91 USD/GWh
those are Text data type, and obviously, works in the table.
But not in the charts, because needs Value format. So I show only
56.90
12.91
but in another measure, because I must to remove format function.
Any idea how to append special chars in the charts?
thanks
Hi,
Have you tried using custom format in the model pane?
Hi, thank you @Gordonlilj
I saw it, but "custom format" is not custom enough, because my format is envolving by another variable. Yes, I know, I didn't tell the detail.
here an example
| tag | value | unit |
| A | 56.90 | EUR/MWh |
| B | 90.10 | GWh |
| C | 71.10 | USD/MWh |
| D | 61.00 | EUR/ML |
I created measure "converter" and I apply it on the matrix table, calculate and append the format.
When I do it for chart, obviously don't works. So, I transform the measure in value (instead text).
So, can't I manipulate this field?
