Description
Hello,
since Dynamic format strings were presented for measures in PowerBI Desktop, I believe that BPA Rule [Formatting] Provide format string for measures should be updated by this way:
not IsHidden
and not Table.IsHidden
and string.IsNullOrWhitespace(FormatString)
and string.IsNullOrWhitespace(FormatStringExpression)
Currently it validates only FormatString attribute which is empty when you are using dynamic format string in your measure. When you are using danymic format string then FormatStringExpression attribute is used.

Update the rule to account for FormatStringExpression as described in the issue, then verify that measures with dynamic format expressions are not flagged while measures missing both values still are.
