Hi @pokarman ,

 

What is the reason you choose to use the Value function, As far as I'm concerned, this function is purpose to Convert a text string that represents a number to a number. What is the return type of the measures [Quantity] and [actualval] and could you please share the folmula of those measures if it does not contain any confidential information? Have you tried to just ues ActualvalSaleafterpercentage = [Quantity] * [actualval] if those measure just return number?

 

Or we can use the following measure to force them calculated as 2-dial decimal number:

 

ActualvalSaleafterpercentage = Rounddown([Quantity],2) * Rounddown([actualval],2)


Best regards,

Is it possible that your actualVal measure has more decimal places than you are showing? For example, if the actualVal in your first row is actually 1.441990384 then that would explain it.

@Greg_Deckler  Hello Greg , 

I am showing exact 2 decimal places but still result is not showing correct.

OK, and I don't mean to needle but did you try increasing how many decimal places are shown by using the formatting ribbon? I have to ask to be sure because it's the only thing that makes sense.
