I’ve created a visual calculation on data in a PowerBI report. Is there a way to make it display as a percentage? Since it was a visual calculation on the report, there’s no column or measure in the Data pane, so I can’t access the ‘Column Tools’ panel where I would normally edit the Data type and Format. Hopefully this make sense. Please help! Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@dmkat Visual calculations are a preview feature and I think they just recently included that functionality: Power BI August 2024 Feature Summary | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
Thanks for the link. When I go to the Data Format field, the Format Options just shows 'Auto' with no other options available. When I type over the word Auto with Percentage it displays that word in my column instead of showing the value as a percentage.
