Formatting Matrix table

[jvazhach]

I have created a matrix table. with several rows, some of which have text "%" included in them. I need to format these specific rows in % format, rest I want in the integer format. Also the rows have to be sorted basis a helper column. is it possible.

Sr. No.	Criteria	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4
1	Sales	100	200	300	400
2	GOP	10	20	30	40
3	GOP % Sales	0.1	0.1	0.1	0.1

I am creating a matrix table where the row is "criteria". I need to sort it in the order of "Sr. no." column. Also rows having text "%" should be in format 0.0%

Hi @jvazhach 

Custom sort your Criteria column by Sr. No.  -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-sort-by-column?wt.mc_id=MVP_447534

Use dynamic format strings for the formatting.

Hi @jvazhach ,
Thank you @danextian and @kushanNa for the helpful answers!

Thanks for your follow-up!

The Table tools and Measure tools tabs appear only when you select a measure or calculated column in the Fields pane. Try clicking on your measure ,the ribbon updates automatically. Dynamic format strings work only with measures, not columns.

Hope this helps.If so,consider accepting it as solution.

Hi @jvazhach 

The quick and dirty way to do it ,  I think you an create measure for each Quarters similar to this 

Q1_M = SUM('YT'[Q1])/100

and use it as values , to change the the measure to percentage click the measure -> and click % and 1 decimal places 

and if you want to sort criteria based on Sr.no then you can click criteria column -> click sort by column and pick Sr.no

Hi KushanNA, 

Thanks for your response. The table needs to have partial row values in number format and rest of row values in percent format. I guess the above measure uniformly converts all row values to percent format. 

Also, I need to sort the table by Sr. No. without it being a part of the table. Will that still work. So basically I have a database with Profit and loss statements for multiple locations and I am trying to create a report which slices the data by different filters and gives the user the option to see the profit and loss statement for the selected filters
