If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime. I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me.
One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.
You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you !
- replace values . with nothing
If you have a column containing numbers as text, for example
123
-123
123,456
-123,456
123,456.78
-123,456.78
then in Power query simply click the coum and change type to decimal number
If you get an error then that suggests that there are other non numeric characters
please copy and paste examples of the raw data table in the chat ... not a screen print ... so we can check it.
