Switch Selected Values - conditional formatting

[AndySmith]

Hi all

I have a Switch selected values expression to toggle between various user selected MTD measures. However some of these measures are $ and some will be %. Is it possible to combine the Format function with the below DAX? So something along the lines of 'IF(selected value = 5, Format "%", else $'

MTD = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Options[Index]),1,[Calc - Revenue - MTD],2,[Calc - DMP - MTD],3,[Calc - GM - MTD],4,[Calc - COGS - MTD],5,[Calc - DMP % - MTD],6,[Calc - Net Margin - MTD])

Hi @AndySmith ，

Is below what you need?

If so,create a measure similarly as below:

MTD = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Index]),
5,FORMAT([Calc - Revenue - MTD],"percent"),
"$"&[Calc - Revenue - MTD])

For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.

Best Regards,
Kelly

Hi @AndySmith ,

I don't think this will be possible because its like having different formatting on the same measure which is not allowed in Power BI.

If its okay for you to have these values as text, then you can probably have the DAX accordingly.

How would they be displayed as text?

@AndySmith ,
They will be just text values. You won't be able to get any aggregations that you are currently getting in your measure selector I guess.
