Show number as percentage value in visuals (i.e. 21.47 --> 21.47%)

It seems like a simple enough task, but I can't seem to make it work. I have a visual based on a measure that calculates the percentage difference between two columns and I want to show that difference as a percentage, not a number. This is the visual I'm working with:

HI @enlamparter

 

I think you just need to set the data type as a percentage type. (if imported data you should be able to set within Power BI file) 

obivously you'd need to change your calculation to ensure it's a percentage value being stored and the decimal equivalent.

 

Thanks

Yep, that would be the answer. I honestly didn't realize I could change the data type of a measure. Silly me! Thanks!
