Re: Help with FORMAT

Anonymous · ‎04-13-2020

Hello all!

I created a calculated column to format other column with some Net Sales values.

test = FORMAT(Summary[Y5 NS (USD)];"$#,##0,,M")

Basically, if I have a value of $ 17.086.863 , format returns $17M.

But, if I have $ 3.500.000 , format returns $4M. But I need $3.5M.

Any idea how to solve this?

Best Regards,

I don't know if it's the best solution, but instead of using FORMAT, I created a calculated column with the following expression:

Test3 = "$"&ROUNDDOWN(Summary[Y5 NS (USD)]/1000000;1)&"M"
