Measure result as text - bug

I created simple measure to calculate PY values. When I create measure from scratch, it's identified as text and I can't setup a formatting.

Measure =
CALCULATE( [Selected actuals YTD], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('dim_Calendar'[Date]))

 

When I create the same measure, but first I force it to be recognized as number e.g.
Measure = 1

and then change it to desired formula

Measure =
CALCULATE( [Selected actuals YTD], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('dim_Calendar'[Date]))
everything works fine and I can set up the number format.
