how to format the unit of the measure of selected measures in a visual chart

i  have created this measure 

Selected items = if (
HASONEVALUE('Measure selection'[Measure ]),
Switch(
   VALUES ('Measure selection'[Measure ]),
           "Month to Month % change", [MOM_I],
           "Price Index", [Index_I],
           "Year over Year % change", [YOY_I]))
but now i want to format the MOM in the percentage and YOY also in the percentage and leave Price index as it in this measure

Hi @yves007 

This seems to be the only solution.
Also, I use it regularly, so it has to work.

 

Here's an example I gave you. Let's try to figure out where things went wrong.

In any case, you can download a sample file from here in addition to the explanation below: Link to file

 

Using a sample file with a table, I built a small table for selecting metrics.

I have just built 3 measures for logical numeric results in:

As I suggested, I wrapped your formula in a format function

Selected items = if (
HASONEVALUE('KPI''S'[KPI]),
Switch(
   VALUES ('KPI''S'),
           "Percent", FORMAT([test_percent 1],"percent"),
           "Number",FORMAT( [TestNumber 1],"#,##0"),
           "curency", format([TestCurre1],"$#,##0")))

Finally, I checked the results using a small kpis table in Slicer and on simple table.
It works perfectly.

Hi @yves007 
Put the desired result in a function
"format"
Depending on your needs, you can choose any format
Something like : 

Selected items = if (
HASONEVALUE('Measure selection'[Measure ]),
Switch(
   VALUES ('Measure selection'[Measure ]),
           "Month to Month % change",  format ([MOM_I],""Percent")
     ....
