Problems with measure data formatting

I was using a measure to calculate some values in % and it was working okay (I just selected the option "%" on the Modeling tab). After some time using that, we figured out that when some error occurs on the calculation, the measure shows "NaN".

 

I need to transform this "NaN" in a different text, to show that we does not have any value, something like "-", that is our standard. But when i changed the measure form, it became impossible to select any data formatting (probably because now it is not only numbers).

 

Here are the measure forms:

 

Measure (old form) = (SUM('IOP Input'[# of Category C machines Step 3 - AM]))/(SUM('IOP Input'[# of all machines in category C]))

 

Measure (new form) = IFERROR((SUM('IOP Input'[# of Category C machines Step 3 - AM]))/(SUM('IOP Input'[# of all machines in category C])); "-")

 

So now, i cannot select the "%" type of data, and my number is not displaying in the way I want.

 

Someone have a suggestion?

Hi @felipr02,

 

You can use DIVIDE function and FORMAT function to work through your issue.

 

Measure= FORMAT(DIVIDE(SUM('IOP Input'[# of Category C machines Step 3 - AM]),SUM('IOP Input'[# of all machines in category C]),"-"),"percent")
