    There would be no way to comingle differing field types within a DAX result field (...that I can think of...).

     

    Instead one would have math only in your primary field, then include a 2nd field/column with a Type indicator value/flag.

     

    Then one could calculate a 3rd column/field that creates a text value (because R$ symbols) based upon these 2 field values.

     

    ....and this is just thinking out loud - - could be more issues when it comes to implementation logic.....
