srinudatanalyst Here's an approach using custom columns in the query editor (M), and DAX calculated columns. One multiplies the original number by 100 and one doesn't. A sample .pbix is attached.

Hi, You can try at Power Query lik this:
Custom column in Power query:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom column in Power Query", each if Text.Select([Q1], {"0".."9", ".", "-"}) = [Q1] then Number.ToText(Number.From([Q1]) * 100) & "%" else [Q1])
Or with a calculated column like this:
Q1_Percent =VAR Val = SUBSTITUTE([Q1], "%", "")VAR NumVal =IF (ISERROR ( VALUE ( Val ) ),BLANK(),VALUE ( Val ))RETURNIF (NOT ISBLANK ( NumVal ),FORMAT ( NumVal , "0.0%" ),[Q1])- bchager

data_msfabric Your DAX isn't quite right. It's converting 100% to 10000%.
