Formatting first three significant digits extra help

Hi, so I've had this issue before and used the following formula on DAX:

Average Overflow Rate (L/s) = VAR __Value = [event_avg_of_rate]
  VAR __Length = LEN(TRUNC(__Value) & "")
  VAR __Result = 
    SWITCH(TRUE(),
      __Length >= 3, ROUND(__Value,0),
      __Length = 2, ROUND(__Value,1),
      __Length = 1, ROUND(__Value,2)
    )
RETURN
  __Result

Which helps in a way, however for values like '6.2' or '2' it doesn't convert to '6.20' and '2.00'. Is there a way that I can add or edit the DAX formula to include such things? I'm kind of stuck at figuring out a solution.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Amazing_Random ,

     

    Please try:

    Average Overflow Rate (L/s) = VAR __Value = [event_avg_of_rate]
      VAR __Length = LEN(TRUNC(__Value) & "")
      VAR __Result = 
        SWITCH(TRUE(),
          __Length >= 3, FORMAT(__Value,"0"),
          __Length = 2, FORMAT(__Value,".0"),
          __Length = 1, FORMAT(__Value,".00")
        )
    RETURN
      __Result
