New Slicer Power BI formatting value added as a label

[Anonymous]

Hello Community

I have the new slicer with average as a label in it. It is showing the average with multiple decimal points after comma. I tried even to force formatting it with a measure, but it did not work. Does any one has an idea of what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your support 😊. I just need to display one decimal place.

I just used your suggestion to simply reference the measure and it's all good. I just wanted to show "--" or "0" instead of blanks. I tried different itterations of dynamic formatting, which works fine if I'm using a card. So frustrating, because I thought it had something to do with my original measure. 

Measure Label = 
IF(
    ISBLANK(
        [Measure]),
        "--",
        [Measure]
)

Thank you for your reply Owen, I found a way to format it, so did not try your solution. But thank you again 😊.

Hi @Anonymous 

Just looked at the options for Labels on the new slicer, and you're right, there aren't any visual-level number formatting options provided for Label fields. Also, number formats defined for the measure itself are not followed by the visual 😞

The only solution I can see right now would be to create a text measure such as:

Label Formatted =
FORMAT (
    [Existing Label Measure],
    "#,0.0"
)

and use this measure as the Label field instead.

Does this work for you?
