If below zero then use tenths if over zero then use whole number

I am trying to display my percentages based on a custom format. If the number is above 0 then use a whole number, if the number is below 0 then format to tenths. Is this possible without changing to text? I want to still keep it a percentage. 

 

Goal: 10%

          0.2%

Hi, @dwel0120 

Try doing this with the FORMAT function, you could create a measure like this:

Measure = 
var _currentValue=MAX('Table'[Data])
return 
IF(_currentValue>0,FORMAT(_currentValue,"Percent"),FORMAT(0.1,"Percent"))

Result:

@dwel0120 As I recall, the only real option here is to use a Calculation Group which allows you to specify the SELECTEDMEASUREFORMATSTRING function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs
