Hello all,
I use a measure for the calculation of the average in a pivot, if the value does not start with < (because a < will give error, no AVG) but everything is rounded on 2 decimals, and I want to show more decimals.
There is a decimals column, with all the decimal places per component.
I use:
Measure =
VAR _text = SELECTEDVALUE( RESULT[Merged] )
VAR _search = SEARCH( "<", _text, 1, 0 ) > 0
RETURN IF( _search, _text, AVERAGE( RESULT[VALUE] ) )
And the result is:
This is what I want, if a result contains < or > it uses no calculation, just the first < or > value. If the results does not contain < or > it calulates the average of 3 values. But every thing is rounded on 2 decimals.
This code does not have any influence:
Measure =
VAR _text = SELECTEDVALUE( RESULT[Merged] )
VAR _search = SEARCH( "<", _text, 1, 0 ) > 0
RETURN IF( _search, _text, ROUND(AVERAGE( RESULT[VALUE] ),5) )
and giving more decimal places in the pivot results in:
Is there a way to influence the decimals in a measure like this?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Sander
Hi @SanderB ,
How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?Could you please provide more details about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?
Best regards,
Hi @v-lid-msft ,
Very sorry for the late reply, I missed the reply 😞
You code looks very good, and in the example it does exactly what I want, but for some reason the FORMAT part mashed my table up.
The filters are not working anymore and no data is shown.
I will check my dataset and will let u know if it works.
Thank for the support!
Best regards,
Sander
Hi @SanderB ,
We can use the following formula to meet your requirement:
Measure =
VAR _text =
SELECTEDVALUE ( RESULT[Merged] )
VAR _search =
SEARCH ( "<", _text, 1, 0 ) > 0
RETURN
IF (
_search,
_text,
FORMAT ( ROUND ( AVERAGE ( RESULT[VALUE] ), 5 ), "0.00000" )
)
BTW, pbix as attached.

I don't know if I'm getting your problem fully but have you tried the simple way to go to the pane modelling and adjust the decimals there?
