    Hi erihsehc

     

    This could possibly done by using the Format as shown below.

    My Measure =
IF (
    [Net Win] > 100,
    "nm",
    FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( SUM('Table1'[sales]), SUM('Table1'[Other Sales]), "NA" ), "Percent" )
)

Hi erihsehc

 

Unfortunately there currently is no other way to format the measures so that they can change based on different scenario's.

 

I would suggest going to https://ideas.powerbi.com and voting for the idea.

Could you consider a 2nd Formatting Measure for your cards?  Something like

Formatted = Var MeasureResult = [YourMeasure]
RETURN
IF(
     MeasureResult = "na",
     "NA",
     (MeasureResult * 100) & "%"
)
