Convert text to number

Hi All,

I have 2 WHOLE NUMBER COLUMN LIKE A and B. I want To Create another  TEXT COLUMN Like THIS: A/B

 

So if

A    B    A/B

 

1     3    1/3

 

4     6     4/6

 

A/B should return TEXT VALUE  as above

 

Thanks

  • Hi drrai66

     

    I would go into the Power Query Editor, then click on Add Column in the Ribbon.

    Then click on Custom Column and put in the following code below.

    NOTE: This will work as long as your columns A and B are set to a data type of Whole Number

    Text.From([A]) & "/" & Text.From([B])

     

    Which then has the following result.

     

  • Hi drrai66,

    You can use below dax formula to achieve the desired result.

     

    A/B = Data[A] & "/" & Data[B]

    Thanks,
