    Hi, mrothschild 

    I am glad to help you.   

     

    According to your description, you want to know how can you format the Matrix to show the data in 0.00% format? 

      

    If I understand you correctly, then you can refer to my solution.  

     

    In your Measure, you might consider adding a judgment to convert data that can be converted to a percentage to a percentage. 

     

    You can refer to my Measure formula, I hope it helps you: 

     

    zzMarked_LRF_Text1 = 
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( 'Fund I Investment Schedule'[Project] ),
        VAR value_ =
            VALUES ( 'Fund I Investment Schedule'[Marked LRF] )
        RETURN
            IF (
                ISERROR ( VALUE ( value_ ) ),
                value_,
                FORMAT ( VALUE ( value_ ), "0.00%" )
            ),
        BLANK ()
    )
    

     

    Here is my test result: 

     

     

    I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.


    Best Regards,
