Dynamic String Expression in Tabular Editor in my Calculation group

[Anonymous]

Hello,

is there a way to make my calculated group change the string format based on the measure I give it (I give quite a few)

some are numbers with a format of "#,0"

some are precentages that need %

some are currecny that need $

like this :

i really dont want to creat 1,000 measure for the time intelegance so i thought a calculated group will solve it but now i face another wall

thanks guys

Hey @Anonymous ,

that's possible, you can adapt the format with DAX.

Check the following article:

Dynamic format strings with calculation groups - SQLBI

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

ok, I read the article AND saw the video and read this one as well

Controlling Format Strings in Calculation Groups - SQLBI

but...

in the words of Michael Scott "explain it to me as if I were a five year old"

I just don't understand

I have 3 types. $, %, and #,0

how will it know when to use what?

do i need to make another table and specify that each mesure should be a different type?

Measure	Type
Measte 1	$
Measure 2	%
Measure 3	#,00
