Simple Formatting Query

Hello i am new to poewr bi and seem to be struggling with what seems a simple matter.

When moving from my query to power bi it seems that my formatting gets lost somehow and i cant understand why?

 

Can anybody help understand what i am missing here to ensure in power bi values are shown as a %?

Yeah, I've seen that with percents sometimes. Solution is to select the column, go to Modeling tab and click the % button in the Formatting area.

Thanks i feel really stupid now. appreciate your reply though.

I wouldn't feel that way at all, I agree that it's annoying that the formatting doesn't flow through.
