Creating a measure combining percentage and free text

 

Hi there

 

I want to create a measure that calculates a percentage and includes text. I have created the below code but the percentage appears as 3.5715518772422e-02.

When I isolate the percentage calculation without the text, it appears correctly as 3.57%

 

Is there anything I can do to display the percentage correctly?Percentage Sample.png 

Measure = "Map represents "&
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Dataset'),
FILTER('Dataset','Dataset'[Country of Residence]<>"")),
COUNTROWS('Dataset'))
&"% of Live users"

Thanks,
Jemma

Hey,

 

for similar requirements I use FORMAT to shape the value to my accordance like so

_test measure = 
var selectedrows = COUNTROWS('Fact Sale open')
var allrows = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Fact Sale open') , ALL('Dimension City'[Sales Territory])) 
return
"the share of the selected territories is " &
FORMAT(DIVIDE(selectedrows , allrows , BLANK()) * 100 , "#.000000") & "%"

This looks on a Card visual like this:

Hopefully this is something you are looking for.

Tom

Perfect @TomMartens  I changed your measure to the below and I get 3.5% which is perfect. 

 

Country of Residence % = 
"Map represents "&FORMAT(DIVIDE(
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS('Dataset'),
        FILTER('Dataset','Dataset'[Country of Residence]<>"")),
        COUNTROWS('Dataset'))*100,"#0.0")&" % of Live users"
