Add unit of measure to a whole number

[unclejemima]

I have a calculated column (i think) where the result is a whole number, with data type and format "whole number"

Right now the result for example could be "150" for a particular row.  I want the field to read "150 sqft"...but how do I do this while preserving the integrity of the number and such, while adding the suffix of "sqft" to the tail end of the number.

sqft stands for square foot.

Here is my calc column...

Qty-Sqft_Avail = (Inventry[Qty-Avail_EA]*Inventry[Volume])

Thanks!

@unclejemima - I believe that you could do this using the technique in Chelsie Eiden's Duration: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Chelsie-Eiden-s-Duration/m-p/793639#M389

Basically allows you to define a custom "display only formatting".
