Unable to change Rounding

Hello Community,   Can someone please let me know why the 'Rounding' is greyed out. I would like to change the rounding to 0 decimal places but I'm unable to, see image.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    We should change the data type to Percentage.Type firstly. Then we can decimal places in Modeling.

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtEzVlWK1cFgxAIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [percentage = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"percentage", Percentage.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

Thanks for reaching out.

 

I made the change, and it worked. However, I'm trying to round off so that I don't see any digits after the decimal.

 

For example, I would like 4% instead of 4.00%. But each time I round I can't get rid of the 0's

I would just make that change in the model layer in PowerBI using formatting rather than in PowerQuery.

    Hi JD,

     

    I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, the format is Greyed out 'not available'

     

    Can you think of any reason why that is?

     

     

    Unfortunately, for some reason I'm unable to show you a photo / screenshot - the uploading of photos here in Desktop Forum is not available.

      Hi Anonymous 

      You do still need to change the datatype in PowerQuery to decimal number.  Then when it is in the model you do the formatting to remove the extra digits on the %.  What does the Date Type show in PowerBI desktop?
