Example of a visual with customized number units (M and K).
Approach 1: All In One
Step 1: Creating a character measure with customized number units.
PowerShell
STR(ROUND(ZN(SUM([MeasureName]))/
IF ABS(SUM([MeasureName]) >= 1000000000 THEN 1000000000
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000 THEN 1000000
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000 THEN 1000
ELSE 1
END,2)
+
IF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000000 THEN 'B'
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000 THEN 'M'
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000 THEN 'K'
ELSE ''
END
This calculation only works with positive numbers.
Approach 2: Combo Measures
Step 1: Creating a new measure that sets the value with desired number of decimals. Ex.: 1,232 → 1.2
PowerShell
ROUND(ZN(SUM([MeasureName]))/
IF ABS(SUM([MeasureName]) >= 1000000000 THEN 1000000000
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000 THEN 1000000
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000 THEN 1000
ELSE 1
END,2)
Step 2: Creating a new measure for the suffix.
PowerShell
IF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000000 THEN 'B'
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000000 THEN 'M'
ELSEIF ABS(SUM([MeasureName])) >= 1000 THEN 'K'
ELSE ''
END
Step 3: Combine measure and suffix on visuals.
