Hi All,

 

Would like have if average of % values as % and average of numbers as numbers in a matrix table, I have created matrix visula but in vain the % values are not as %  but avg of numbers are perfect.

My sample table

1.1AApr-180.2120.00%
1.1DApr-18187811878

3.3CJun-1818118
3.3EMay-1828657.00 28657

You can see the actual Matrix table where the % target row values are not showing as %.

My Reulst field is Decimal Number format to handle %, Number & Text.

Hey, 

 

Perhaps formatting could occur with a minor modification to the formula like this: 

 

if('Table'[Field] <=1, FORMAT('Table'[Field],"##.##%"), FORMAT('Table'[Field],"General Number"))

 

This is also true if you wanted to use an if (conditions to average), summarize table, (conditions not to summarize)

Create a new column like below and that should do the trick.  Not sure how you are summarizing values.

 

New Column = FORMAT(Table[Field],"##.##%")

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

This format will apply also if the column has numbers without %. In my result column for example the % values as 0.14, 0.95... and also with numbers example 12, 250...

I want to bring all these numebers as average in Matric table with if the numbers are % then the avg Number should show with %a and other wihout %.
