Value conditional formatting

I have a long list of KPIs. Some are percentages but shown as numbers e.g. 12% is shown as 12 - The value is 12 not .12, which is fine. A fair few of the KPIs are curency values.

 

The individual KPIS are selected from a slicer.

Data is displayed in a clustered column chart with labels turned on

 

Is there any way of formatting the labels so that for currency KPIs the label is shown as currency e.g. £10,200 with no decimal points whilst for percentage values the data is shown with no symbol but to 1 decimal point e.g. 14.2

I am thinking of maybe some kind of helper column in the KPI list table.

Any suggeations/pointers please?

Hi @Fusilier2 

It sounds like what you're asking is possible, but to give a more accurate answer, it would be helpful to see exactly what your setup looks like and what you're trying to achieve.
If you could share a sample of the data or a mock-up of the expected result (including how the slicer interacts with the chart), I’d be happy to suggest a more specific solution.

Hi,

So, this is the slicer with a % KPI selected:

The chart will display the values as this:

Which is fine.

If I now select a curency KPI:

The chart shows thus:

In this case I would want to see the label displayed as say £383 etc.

This is how the tables are linked:

I was thinking of some kind of helper column in the definition table but not sure how to use that. Any ideas?

Hi @Fusilier2 
You can use field parametrs + conditional formatting with dax .
