FORMAT used in a measure

What this rule checks

A DAX measure converts a numeric result to text with FORMAT.

Everscope evaluates only the metadata needed for this deterministic check. It does not read dataset rows or values.

Why this is a risk

Text conversion can impair sorting, aggregation, reuse, and query performance.

In a governed environment this can weaken traceability, operational reliability, or the evidence available to reviewers and auditors.

How to resolve it

1. Keep the result numeric and use a model format string or dynamic format string.
2. Validate the change with the accountable owner, rerun the same metadata scan, and retain the before-and-after evidence.
