Trying to combine a Decimal number with string

Hi, I'm trying to combine the description in the satisfaction column with the results in the PCT,
I used this code to get the PCT that you see here in the screen , and then used the format options in the menu to show it as a %

PCTOfGrandTotal =

    DIVIDE(

        [SatisfactionCount],

        CALCULATE(SUM('_DFE - Satisfaction (2)'[SatisfactionCount]), ALL('_DFE - Satisfaction (2)'))

    )

For example my goal would be something like
Very Satisfied - 80.86%

But when I use the FORMAT function, like this command

Column = FORMAT('TableName'[PCT],"#")
I see nothing in the column.

How do i convert this PCT to a text field?


Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

Please try the following measure

 

Satisfaction %=

    Selectedvalue([Satisfaction])&" - "&Round(PCTOfGrandTotal*100,2)&"%"

Thanks, For a measure that works perfectly!

But my needs are to use that text as part of a chart, and unfortunately I can't add measures to a chart.
Is there anyway around that?  I'm using the final result you provided as a replacent for just the descriptions.
Something like this but with the formatted descriptions including the %
