DOLLARFR Function not converting to whole numbers

[VS-DF]

I am pretty much a Power BI newbie, exploring and figuring things out as I go along. I have a measure which uses the DOLLARFR function to represent data as a fractional notation - in this case thirds. This works amazingly in general but on occasion it fails to convert 3 thirds into a whole number i.e. data shows up as 5.3 (5 and 3 thirds) instead of 6?

I have a column [OutCount] populated with count data and divided by 3 so that a decimal value is available and each "count" is 0.3333...

I then have the following measure to sum that decimal data and convert into fractional notations:

Fraction = DOLLARFR(sum('Table'[OutCount]),3)

This gives the following outputs - representing the decimals as fractions (in this case thirds):

6.667 = 6.2

1.667 = 1.2

5.333 = 5.1

0.333 = 0.1

In most cases this presents the correct data in my dashboard. But in certain instances it does not. For example:

6.000 is presented as 5.3. Which is technically correct (5 and 3 thirds), but should be presented as 6.0.

Does anyone know why this is happening or what I may need to do differently?

Thanks in advance

This looks like it's probably a rounding issue, I suspect the 5.3 is actually just under 5.3 by a version small fraction. See the following test data:

Hi @VS-DF 

I tested the measure Fraction. It is working perfectly.  When I use DOLLARFR(6.000,3) it gives me 6.0

My guess is the sum(sum('Table'[OutCount]) is evaluating to 5.999 which when used with the Fraction measure it evaluates to 5.3.

See if you can round the SUM(Table(Count) ) before passing it to Fraction measure.
