  • The number you want to round and convert to text, or
  • A column containing a number.
2

The number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

If omitted, 2.

  • False () or 0 or omitted: Displays the commas in the returned text.

Remarks

If no_commas is FALSE or 0 or is omitted, then the returned text includes commas.

You have two options to format a column containing numbers −

  • By using a formatting command from the Ribbon.
  • Using the DAX FIXED function.

The difference between the two options is that the FIXED function converts its result to text, whereas with the formatting command the result is still a number.

Numbers can never have more than 15 significant digits, but decimals can be as large as 127.
