Format Visual Calculation

[todd_chittenden]

Visual Calculations are great, but they inherit the formatting of columns and measures used in their definition (sometimes). Almost always I need to format my custom Visual Calculation in some other way. The most obvious example is a percentage calculation. If I divide two number for a percentage, I don't really want it showing up as 0.50. So, sure I can multiply by 100 but then I get 50.00.

We really need the ability to format Visual Calculations independently from their base measures.

Absolutely agreed.

The fact I want to use this feature to show $ variances but I can't format the new calculation to be Currency is very limiting.
