Dynamic Decimal Places for a Measure

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I have a measure with a whole number result which can range from 0  to 2 million based on filter selection.
Is there an option in Power BI where I can control the decimal places displayed based on the value. When I keep the Decimal Places Option as Auto, The measure shows value like 1.00 and 1.42M. The decimal places ae OK in the latter,but really not needed in the former.
When I keep the Decimal Places to 0, it is shown up as 1 and 1M, In this case the latter loses some required information.

I am aware of the format function, but would like to know if there any other method so that measure can remain a Decimal/Whole Number and not a string.
Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ，

Create a measure to realize it,such as below:

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Decimal option])="Auto",FORMAT(CONCATENATE(MAX('Table'[Column1]),"M"),"fixed"),FORMAT(CONCATENATE(ROUND(MAX('Table'[Column1]),0),"M"),"general number"))

 And you will see:
