Hi ,


To the best of my knowledge you can only return a single data type from a measure,Please try to use Tabular Editor:

pls see the highlight part. It's differrent from the screenshot you provided.

 

IF(MAX(PNL_VAR)="7_NPM", DIVIDE([_YTD_NP_],[_YTD_REV_N])*100&"%",DIVIDE([_YTD_NP_],[_YTD_REV_N]*1))
