Var Formula error
Hi All,
I have a measure where the user would be able to display a value of their choice within a linked MAtrix table.
My issue is that one of the option links to a percent measure but the others are decimal number format. What I want to do is amend the code to format 3 of the selections as Decimal Number and the 4th (in red) as Percentage.
Selected Metric =
VAR MySelection =
SELECTEDVALUE('Select Metric'[Measure])
Return
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
MySelection = "Volumes",[Volume YTD],
MySelection = "Forecast",[Cumulative Forecast],
MySelection = "% Forecast Met",[Ytd % Forecast Met],MySelection = "Variance",[Cumulative Variance],
[Volume YTD]
)thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
Cheers
Hi Anonymous,
If you just want to show the number as a percentage, you can try this formula.
Selected Metric = VAR MySelection = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Select Metric'[Measure] ) RETURN SWITCH ( MySelection, "Volumes", [Volume YTD], "Forecast", [Cumulative Forecast], "% Forecast Met", FORMAT ( [Ytd % Forecast Met], "0.00%" ), "Variance", [Cumulative Variance], [Volume YTD] )
