VAR _decimal = 13
VAR _Remainder = MOD( [ContractsMeasure], 1 )
RETURN
IF(

Hi

LivioLanzo . Thank you for your response

 

I've done the format you suggested and it's still not showing correctly.  Here's what Power BI is showing

Here is what the correct calculation in excel is showing

Example: 755.38 = 755 5/13

the remainder (.38) divided by 13 is 5/13.  Power BI is showing this as 4/13

 

let me know your thoughts! thanks
