Make column into %

Hi, 

I have column that is in number format.

The data comes from sharepoint and which comes from Power Apps.

I would like to convert into a % (without having to change Power Apps or Sharepoint List)

Do i add New Measure, Do i add a New Column or Do i use Dax?

1. Open Transform Data, create a custom column from the top menu bar.V-pazhen-msft_0-1623378190788.png


2. Remove the original column in power query.

hi, i had to reconnect my data source.

Objective is to get an average of the three audit scores and get into a percentage

I am still battling with all the responses. Is it because of the format of my Audit score columns?

You can create new measure calling same column and divide it by 100
Once measure is  created convert it into percentage.

Sample DAX = Max([Test])/100,
Click on % sign in measure tools to convert it to Percentage.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

If it's not available in any of the mathematical transformations, then you can always use 'Add New Column' and perform the operation in there. Then remove the old column.

If in Power Query, just apply a transformation to the column: divide the value by 100.
