Formatting Y-axis

[dashboard-1]

Hi all, 

I have been trying to add a € sign before a value, based on a slicer selection. To do this, I created a measure and used the function FORMAT(x, €#.##). However, it gives me an error. 

Can somebody help?

Hi, @dashboard-1 ;

IF you want show in graph, you could create two measures ,because one measure only show one type unless use format. so please try two measures:

Dynamic Display1 =
VAR selectitem =
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Selector[Type] ), VALUES ( Selector[Type] ), BLANK () )
RETURN
    SWITCH ( selectitem, "Cost", SUM ( [Cost] ) )

Dynamic Display2 =
VAR selectitem =
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Selector[Type] ), VALUES ( Selector[Type] ), BLANK () )
RETURN
    SWITCH ( selectitem, "number", SUM ( [number] ), BLANK () )

Then change measure1 type

The final output is shown below:

Hey @dashboard-1 ,

the format itself has to be in quotes.

Try it like this:

FORMAT(x, "€#.##")

If you need any help please let me know.

Hi, 

Thanks for your reply.

I'm trying to convert to a currency when cost is selected at the slicer. The full formula is:

Dynamic Display =

var selectitem=IF(HASONEVALUE(Selector[Type]),VALUES(Selector[Type]),BLANK())

return

SWITCH(selectitem,"Cost",FORMAT([Cost],€#.##),"number",[number],BLANK())

This is working in a table, but not a graph.

So, with a slicer you can select what value, cost or number, will be shown in the graph. 
The only problem is, that by using FORMAT, the number will go to a text value. And a text value will not be shown in a graph.

I also tried the CURRENCY function, but that is not doing anything. 

I hope you can help me... If you choose cost, then the value needs to convert to currency. If you choose number, the value needs to convert to double.

Best regards,

Kelly
