Error in dynamic format

[Ferha_Jafri]

Hello Experst,

I am getting below error while using dynamic formatting as 

var selected_toggle = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])

var var_value = SWITCH(TRUE(),

selected_toggle = "Total Premium","$#,0" ,

selected_toggle = "Total Incurred", "$#,0" ,

selected_toggle = "No. of Claims", "#,0"

,0

)

 RETURN var_value

Dax expression is 

Prem_Cla_Inc toggle =

 var selected_toggle = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])

 var var_value = SWITCH(TRUE(),

selected_toggle = "Total Premium",[Sum_Premium],

selected_toggle = "Total Incurred",[Sum_Incured],

selected_toggle = "No. of Claims",[# Claims],0

)

 RETURN var_value

return type for this is a number.

Error :

Can someone help me as what I am doing wrong here.

Hi, @Ferha_Jafri 

I’ve provided two solutions for you:

1.Firstly, modify the format as follows:

var selected_toggle1 = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])
var var_value1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),
selected_toggle1 = "Total Premium","$#,0" ,
selected_toggle1 = "Total Incurred", "$#,0" ,
selected_toggle1 = "No. of Claims", "#,0"
,"0"
)
 RETURN var_value1

The error occurred previously because you returned 0 instead of “0”. The output might be a number rather than a string.

2.Secondly, directly modify the measure to the following measure:

Measure = 
 var selected_toggle = SELECTEDVALUE(View[Value])
 var var_value = SWITCH(TRUE(),
selected_toggle = "Total Premium",FORMAT([Sum_Premium],"$#,0"),
selected_toggle = "Total Incurred",FORMAT([Sum_Incured],"$#,0"),
selected_toggle = "No. of Claims",FORMAT([# Claims],"#,0"),0
)
 RETURN var_value

This way, the format will be corrected directly when the measure outputs.

3.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.
