Ability to apply a certain format to all measures in a visualization

Costin Domozina

Description

We need a general formatting option for measures in the properties menu of a visualization.

This option will allow us to set a general format for all the measures in the visualization (rather then doing measure by measure).

Use Case and Business Need

Use Case:

if we have 5 measures in a table visualization and what to set the Decimal to None for all of them we will have to do it one by one. 

 

Business Need:

This will save a lot of time in the development process.

This would save a lot of time while developing content. It would make the tool more efficient.

Concur with the idea.

Agree - this would be very helpful. If we could select the measures to which we want to apply a particular format and then format all of them at the same time (much like selecting multiple cells / rows / columns as one would do very easily in Excel) it would save a lot of time and awkwardness when constructing reports

You can do this today in the dataset if the formatting applies to all of your workbooks. Have you tried this approach?

I understand the idea but I am working with pre-defined subject areas so don't have the option to set the format during dataset creation.
