With help from this community, I've been working out how to change reading ages for pupils in a school into a years months format. This is now done and working. My one last thing - the icing on the cake - is that the formula below gives me a result in the format 12 Years 9.1764705882353 Months for our year 7 cohort. Can the formula below be changed so that I can set to 1 decimal place? The format of the column in Power BI is text - if I change it to a number I then get an error...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Reading Age Averaged =
VAR year1 = INT('Reading Ages'[Average RA] / 12)
VAR month1 = 'Reading Ages'[Average RA] - year1 * 12
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] < 12, "0 Year " & FORMAT('Reading Ages'[Average RA], "0.0") & " Months",
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] = 12, "1 Year 0 Months",
year1 & " Years " & FORMAT(month1, "0.0") & " Months"
)
Reading Age Averaged =
VAR year1 = INT('Reading Ages'[Average RA] / 12)
VAR month1 = 'Reading Ages'[Average RA] - year1 * 12
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] < 12, "0 Year " & FORMAT('Reading Ages'[Average RA], "0.0") & " Months",
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] = 12, "1 Year 0 Months",
year1 & " Years " & FORMAT(month1, "0.0") & " Months"
)
Hi @duesouth - Can you try the below updated measure:
Reading Age Averaged =
var year1 = INT('Reading Ages'[Average RA] / 12)
var month1 = ROUND('Reading Ages'[Average RA] - year1 * 12, 1)
return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] < 12, "0 Year " & month1 & " Months",
'Reading Ages'[Average RA] = 12, "1 Year 0 Months",
year1 & " Years " & month1 & " Months"
)
