Hello,
I created a measure with dynamic data type. When my parameter is set to "%" the value appear as a percentage in the table, and while it's set to "ILS" it appears as a number. The problem is that the graph won't show any data when it's set to "%", everything disappears:
Any way to handle this? I want my to have one graph and my users to be able to choose between % to number.
I can split it into 2 measures and use bookmarks but I want a 'clean' dashboard
I believe the issue is due to the FORMAT function converting the data type to text. You could try two approaches:
1. Fields parameter (requires two measures; you can format each measure without FORMAT)
2. Calculation group (the "format string expression" applies the specified format without converting the data type to text)
Proud to be a Super User!
Hi, thank you for your answer, I will try to use calculatin groups
