Power BI – Change display unit based on values in table

Sale in (K) =
Var TotalSale = SUM('Global-Superstore'[Sales])
Var FinalSale = DIVIDE(TotalSale, 1000)
Var decimals = "0.0"
RETURN
FORMAT ( FinalSale, decimals & "K" )

DAX Description:

• SUM: It will return total sum of sales
• Divide: To get Sales in thousand divide total sum of sales with 1000.
• Format: Converts a value to text according to the specified format.

Custom Display Units 1

Note: This measure will support only table and Matrix visuals, because here we are adding numeric and string value together, so other charts will not support this measure as in value.

Now create a custom display units based on some conditions:

Create a measure with some condition as mentioned below-

Custom Display unit =
Var TotalSale = SUM('Global-Superstore'[Sales])
Var decimals = "0.0"
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE() ,
TotalSale > 1000000 , FORMAT ( TotalSale / 1000000 , decimals & "M" ) ,
TotalSale > 100000, FORMAT ( TotalSale / 100000 , decimals & "L" ) ,
TotalSale > 1000 , FORMAT ( TotalSale / 1000 , decimals & "K" ) ,
FORMAT ( TotalSale , decimals )
)

Now drag measure to table visual and see the output-
