Set format to currency and percentage when using SWITCH()
I have a report with a slicer that changes the metric being displayed so that, for each category, our client can switch between viewing the percentage of respondents or their projected annual revenue impact
When I use data labels, the project annual revenue impact looks exactly how I want it to:
The number is condensed to "16M" and easy to read.
However, when I use "Total Data Labels", the number does not get condensed:
Which can make it a bit messy and hard to read.
Normally, I'd fix this by changing the metric, but, in this case, my metric can be either a percentage or a dollar value.
Is there any way to standardize how a metric is displayed when it is a calculated measure using SWITCH()?
markandrewolive , when you use to switch it has that problem. For that calculation group using tabular editor is an alternate, there you can different format for each number
