    Ok, In the report view, Select or click on the Measure from the Fields , Then got to Modelling , change the format as required. It should be enabled.

     

    I guess earlier you didnt select the Measure in fields before navigating to Modelling, thats why it would have been Greyed out.

     

    Thanks

    Hi MarkSL

     

    No I've not found a fix for it. I've just lived with having the 2dp.

    To me its seems its something MS should fix

Value Decimal Places in Field Formatting is set to Auto and grayed out so I can't change it.

      Thank you. I had the same issue. Modeling tab wasn't allowing me to change the decimals on a Measure. Didn't realize you can't just highlight the field by clicking on it, have to CHECK the box next to the measure in order to view the Modeling Tab and update the formatting. Appreciate posts like this for newbies like me who have no idea if 'it can't be done' or 'operator error'. :)

      I can't get this to work completely.

      I can set any number of decimal places above zero.

      But if I set decimal places to Zero it displays 2 decimal places!!

       

      This only happens when I set the field to average.

      If set to sum then it works OK

        Hi stuartpearson,

         

        Did you find a fix for this?  I am using a Matrix and selecting Average but the result is defauting to 2 decimal places and I want none.  Going into the modelling tab will only allow me to go down to 1dp, changing it to zero results in 2dp as you have also found.

         

        Thanks
