Hello,
I have created slicers that adjust the format to the user's preference. They can select the general format and the number of decimals. It works really well (despite the annoyance of having to specify right alignment for every column in a view).
This is the table with the various formats.
Each measure has one as a number, e.g. Translated1, and one formatted, e.g. f_Translated1.
This is the pattern for the formatted measures:
f_Translated1 = IF([Translated1], FORMAT([Translated1],'SelectorFormat'[formater]))
And, this is the final format
The issue is when a graphic, namely waterfalls, linked to a data table. I can either use a number measure or a formatted measure, not both, and formatted measures do not work with graphics. I can use a divisor, but then I cannot control the number of decimals.
