How to change the number format to percentage for a column in matrix

Currently i have a matrix with sales, gross margin and custom column called "gross margin %". Despite I change the gross margin % column data format to % in query, it still shows a number format in matrix. 

 

I tried to change that from field formatting, but it doesn't has the option.

 

Any help?

Hi @gavin007 ,

 

The Percent format with decimal place also works with measure, you may select on your measure and try it again.

Good solution is to change the format in Visualizations Format visual - Specific column. Then apply to the show value as columns added and change the values such as value decimal places etc..

Hi @gavin007 ,

 

Make sure the data type of CM% is number first of all. Then select on the column CM% in Field pane, go to Modeling-> Format, choose Percentage format, you may also set the decimal places for the column.

When I click on modeling tab there is no option for changing it to percentage. Can you shed some light why is it so?

it only works as if it is a measure. if it is a column with number format, it doesn't have the option. Why is that?

the column format doesn't show up though.

 

this is in the values field. I tried to put to columns field, which is still the same.image.png

Try the below steps:

Step 1: Select your column name from the field pane (The rightmost area where all the list of tables and fields are visible).

 Step 2: Go to Modelling tab and see the format of your column.

Step 3: just click on a Percentage sign and check your result.

 

If possible so please share the snapshot of your data format of the column.
