Reducing the decimal places after concatenating a text & numeric field

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have a field column decimal numbers (e.g 8.78954) & a column containing a text value (e.g. M), I have concatenanted the two columns, however, I am getting multiple decimal places e.g. 8.78954M. 

I realise the difficulty is due to the 'Concat' column being a text field but is there anyway to reduce the decimal places to two? This is a requirement for my report

Thanks

Hi, i have the opposite problem! i'm trying to concatenate between longitude, latitude which i need to show 5 digits after the dot, and the concatenate automatically round down the digits, for example from 35.42464 to 35.4246, or even to 35.424 etc..

it's critical not to change the resolution and beacuse i'm using direct query i can't use functions like format.

please help! thanks

Would this work for you?

Column =
VAR roundDecimal =
    ROUND ( TableName[Column1], 2 )
RETURN
    CONCATENATE ( roundDecimal, TableName[Column2] )

That worked perfectly, thanks for your help!
