    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario.

    Table:

     

    You may create a measure like follows.

     

    Result = ROUND(SUM('Table'[Score]),2)

     

     

    Then you may make the measure selected, go to 'Modeling' ribbon, set 'Decimal places' as 2.

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards

One way is to click on the measure or value itself, then on the Measure Tools toolbar (this is the new ribbon), change the format to what you want and set the decimal places.

 

The other way is if it is a measure, wrap it with ROUND(YourMeasureHere,2) just like you would in Excel. 

 

If it isn't a measure but a value you've dropped into a visual, this is one of the reasons you should always make measures for values, as you'll be limited to just visually changing it via the first method above, but underneath, it is keeping all of that small data around.
