How to to give $ in one row and % to the other row in the same table

[Anonymous]

Hi,

This is my dummy data. In some of the rows, I want to use the $sign with the number and other rows %sign with the number.

When I import this data into Power BI, % and $ symbol are not coming.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You may enter into Query Editor, go to APPLIED STEPS, find the step named "Changed type" , delete this step.

Or you may go to File -> Options and settings -> Options ->CURRENT FILE ->Data Load, don't tick the option "Detect column types and headers for unstructured sources", restart the Power BI Desktop to take effect of this change.

Best Regards,

Hello @sbhan4

What is the condition for your format,

If you need it formatted, you must convert it to a column of type string.

then create a measure

measurement: Switch (true(),

[Col1] á "Cond1", FORMAT(table[Col3], "Currency"),

[Col1] - "Cond2", FORMAT(table[Col3], "-%"),

[Col1] á "Cond3", FORMAT(table[Col3], "-"))

@Anonymous Thanks Pranit for your help. Well, I have provided a link to my dummy data. As you see in the screenshot, columns Goal, Actual, YTD Goal, YTD Actual - Ex Cost metrics should be $ and other in % and Number. Please share pbix if possible.

@pranit828 Thanks for your help. Actually, As you see in the screenshot. If I import that dataset in table format.

One metric should be $ other one % and remaining just numbers.
