how to calculate difference of cells displayed on grid with format taken into consideration

Answered
Michael T asked on May 21, 2022

Hi,
 
Would like a calculated measure which effectively displays the difference  in the ** displayed values on the grid** after formatting (e.g. to 0 decimal places) is taken into account.
 
For example, it may show 95% if it's 95.49% and 96% if it's 95.51%
in this case, i would want the calculated measure to show 1%. since the displayed values are 1% apart.
how can i create a measure that calculates using the displayed measures with formatting?
 
Thank you,
 
Stay safe.

Hello, Michael!
 
Thank you for your question.
 
Kindly note that you can achieve the desired behavior by applying round function to unformatted values in the calculation value formula.
Please don't forget about specifying aggregation inside the round function.
 
We have prepared a JSFiddle example with average aggregation for visualization: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/zk2vr6hy/.
 
Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us in case of any other questions.
