Individual Number Formatting

Hi all,

I was wondering whether there was a way of changing the format of the data so that only the bottom row's numbers show as a percentage, rather than each whole column.

 

Apologies if there is a basic solution to this - I've only just started using PBI!

 

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

 

See below an image of how to do the unpivot and pivot on the query editor.

 

The selection of the columns for the unpivot should compreend all your months.

Hi, You can do a conditional formatting in DAX expression for any specific number format.

Try formatting 2 numbers seperately by creating 2 measures, then write a DAX expression using IF condition to use those 2 measures as per the row.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

The best way is to unpivot your columns and then Pivot by the Contact Quality.

 

Check below the M Code for some sample data:

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wck7MySlW0lEytDAGk4Yg0tJAKVYnWsmxLLUoMT0VKGKgZ2lhaYjGMDczUYqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Contact quality" = _t, Jan = _t, Feb = _t, Mar = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Contact quality", type text}, {"Jan", type number}, {"Feb", type number}, {"Mar", type number}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Contact quality"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Unpivoted Columns", List.Distinct(#"Unpivoted Columns"[Contact quality]), "Contact quality", "Value"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Pivoted Column",{{"Average", Percentage.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Hello @MFelixand @Azhar1,

 

Thank you very much for your replies.

 

While I'm sure your solutions are helpful, I'm a complete beginner so I don't know how to go about doing the stuff you mentioned.

 

I would be grateful if you could clarify this. Sorry again!

 

Kind regards
