Setting format of data labels (i.e. rounding) for chart showing aggregate data of text format

[mossshvlw]

Hi all,

I have a text column that is simply "Male" or "Female".  I'm creating a chart to tally those counts:

I want the decimal places to be rounded.  I'm trying to do this by clicking on the column and going to 'column tools' to set the formatting:

But the option to format the number is greyed out since it's a text column.  I want to keep the column text, aggregate it as I've done, and simply report the label percentages as rounded numbers.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hi @mossshvlw 

You can try to build a measure then use measure tool to achieve your goal as well.

My Sample:

Measure:

Sex Percentage = DIVIDE(COUNT('Table'[Sex]),COUNTAX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Sex]))

Result:

RicoZhou, Thanks for the reply.  I did not accept this answer since there was a much simpler solution I was overlooking, which I have stated in the thread below.  The Data Labels tab in the visualization pane is the easiest way to accomplish the rounding of the decimals.
