SharePoint Number % Column

If I import a SharePoint list via this Implementation 2.0 method:

 

 

SharePoint.Tables("url_here", [Implementation="2.0", ViewMode="All"])

 

 

a number column shown as percentages is coming in as null. It contains no values when it clearly does on SharePoint. If I change the method to this:

 

 

SharePoint.Tables("url_here", [ApiVersion=15])

 

 

the column will come in fine, but then I have to deal with column real names instead of display names and have a big problem with time zones. Is this a known issue?

@JSpradlin , check if any step added in the power query that has an error or done some data type change which has caused it

I'm viewing the table from the initial navigation step. Shown as a percentage on SharePoint yields null values. Shown without formatting shows the desired decimals.

 

As percentage, you can see it's brought in as a decimal formatted column.

As a normal number column:
