Add a string to a cell (using measure)

Answered

Hi all,
Is there a way of adding a string to a cell?
For instance, lets say my data has 2 rows. Country, and Population.
And I wish to add a string, say ‘people’ to the count – so it will show for instance, 3000000 people.
Didn’t see any option of adding a string into a calculated measure…
Thanks!

Thank you for your question.
 
The desired formatting can be achieved using the currencySymbol property of the format object. More information about the format object and its properties can be found by the link: Number formatting.

Thanks for your reply. Looks great.
And one more thing, is it possible to make it an HTML code? In other words, am I able to add an icon instead of the word people?
 
Thanks!
