    Hi nisha_deepak 

    Based on your sample data this M code in Power Query does exactly what you want. 

    You can download a sample PBIX file here

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjLVMTAwUIrVATJ1TA3gHEMgC8ExAAMw2y+/RME5vyy1KDUFzIdoVVXIzcxTMETSo6sUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [all = _t]),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each try Number.ToText(Number.From([all]),"N") otherwise [all]),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each try if Text.Contains([Custom],".00") then Text.Start([Custom],Text.Length([Custom])-3) else [Custom] otherwise ""),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom1",{"Custom"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns"
