Numeric measures without a format string

"Numeric measures without a format string" is one of the governance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n visible measure(s) have no format string. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Set a format string on every measure (#,0 ; #,0.00 ; 0.0% ; currency).

What is detected

n visible measure(s) have no format string. Visuals show raw numbers (1234567.891) and every report author formats them differently.

Why it matters

Severity depends on how many objects are affected.

How to fix it

Set a format string on every measure (#,0 ; #,0.00 ; 0.0% ; currency).
