Hello
I have a waterfall chart such as shown below. This is using the Simple Waterfall Chart -
I have tried and failed, is there a way to format the label numbers. I have tried DAX FORMAT for the measures but the simple waterall chart wont allow a measure with FORMAT in its code.
I would like to format the negatives with ( ) and also the first pillar with a thousand mark. The Last pillar seems to apply for some reason.
Thank you for any help.
Stuart
Thank you, I will try this and mark as solved when done.
Thanks
Stuart
Hi @StuartPQY ,
Instead of formatting the measure directly, consider creating a custom column in your data model that applies the desired formatting. This column can then be used for labels or tooltips in your visualization.
Formatted Value = IF([YourMeasure] < 0, "(" & FORMAT(ABS([YourMeasure]), "0,000") & ")", FORMAT([YourMeasure], "0,000"))
Best Regards,
