    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, the easiest way is using the format feature in 'Modeling' ribbon. As a workaround, you may try the following steps.

     

    Here is my example.

    Table:

     

    FormatTable:

     

    Then you may create a measure as below.

     

    FormatSales = 
var _currentformat = SELECTEDVALUE(FormatTable[Format])

return 
IF(
    OR(_currentformat = "CPC",_currentformat = "CTR"),
    MAX('Table'[Sales])/100&"%",
    "$"&MAX('Table'[Sales])
)

     

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards
