    Hi  DanielG123 ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want. You can create a calculated column as below:

    Column = 
IF (
    [Value] >= 1000000,
    FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( [Value], 1000000 ), "0.00M" ),
    IF (
        [Value] >= 1000
            && [Value] < 1000000,
        FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( [Value], 1000 ), "0.00K" ),
        FORMAT ( [Value], "0.00" )
    )
)

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

DanielG123 , You have try a measure like

 

SWITCH ( TRUE() ,
[M1] >= 1000000000 , CONCATENATE("$", FORMAT ([M1]/1000000000, "#,###.0") & "bn") ,
[M1] >= 1000000, CONCATENATE("$", FORMAT (COALESCE([M1], 0)/1000000, "#,###.0" )& "M") ,
[M1] >= 1000, CONCATENATE("$", FORMAT (COALESCE([M1], 0)/1000000, "#,###.0" )& "K") ,
CONCATENATE("$", FORMAT (COALESCE([M1], 0) , "#,###.0")
))

Hi, 

 

So where you have the [M1] in the formula, i am replacing that with my column name. However it will not find the column. It is a whole number column, do i need to put it in a calculated field?
