Good day,
Can I set my field in Measures by type: [{uniqueName: 'test', myField: 'myField'}]. Or the second option, use field format but don't use setFormat

Hello,
When I call flexmonster.getMeasures (), I would like to get an array with metrics, in which I have a custom field. Can I do this? Or the second option in the format field could be to set my own format without using setFormat. By this field, I would like to determine which method I need to apply for additional formatting

Hello,
Thank you for providing additional details.
If we understand correctly, you would like to assign a specific value to your measures. Depending on that value, you would like to apply specific formatting rules to the measure.
If so, it seems the format measure property would work for your case. With this property, you can assign a format name as a string value:
slice: {
rows: [{...}],
measures: [
{
uniqueName: "Price",
format: "currency"
},
{
uniqueName: "Quantity",
format: "amount"
}
]
},
formats: [
{
name: "currency",
currencySymbol: "$"
},
{
name: "amount",
currencySymbol: " pcs.",
positiveCurrencyFormat: "1$"
}
]
This way, you can assign specific formatting rules to each measure. Also, the format property value of each measure is returned by the getMeasures() API call.
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/h4aeLtsu/.
Would such an approach work for your case?
Looking forward to your reply.
