Insert Decimal
Good morning! I have a whole number column, and I'd like to insert a decimal after the second digit. How would I go about doing this? Example below. Currently the number is: 12345678 I'd like the numb...

ThisIsIt - Perhaps:
DAX Column = IF([Column] = 0,0,[Column]/1000000) Power Query Column = if [Column] = 0 then 0 else [Column]/1000000

Hi ThisIsIt
if the length of the whole number differs you can do it with Power Query like this:
// Table
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyNjE1M7dQio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Value = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Start([Value],2) & "." & Text.End([Value],Text.Length([Value])-2)),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Custom", type number}})
in
#"Changed Type"
or you can do it with DAX:
Decimal Number =
CONVERT (
LEFT ( CONVERT ( 'Table (2)'[Value], STRING ), 2 ) & "."
& RIGHT (
CONVERT ( 'Table (2)'[Value], STRING ),
LEN ( CONVERT ( 'Table (2)'[Value], STRING ) ) - 2
),
DOUBLE
)
A shorter version of the above DAX formula is:
Decimal Number =
CONVERT (
LEFT ( 'Table (2)'[Value], 2 ) & "."
& RIGHT (
'Table (2)'[Value],
LEN ('Table (2)'[Value] ) - 2
),
DOUBLE
)
