why is it showing wrong percentage value (even when it is predefined)

I don't know what's wrong and unable to figure it out by myself, the percentage value is predefined in the sheet itself, but still, it is displaying the percentage in the wrong format.when I click on it which renders it further line chart and so on, the last phase showing the data right way, I can't figure out what's wrong with first two, even if I change the order, it always shows the data right for the last one.

 

the percentage value on the line chart looks like this:......Screenshot_1.png

 

 

and nothing special about data.it simply looks like this:...

@Sid25 , Once you click on the field , You will see. No % sign with slight dark background means checked. unchecked in this case.

 

Once you check that value will display *100. Means .01 is 1%. So if you already have value as 1 (in % column) then you need to create a column [% Value]/100 and then use % formatting

@Sid25 , In case you have Percent column that is Already multiplied by 100, then divide it by 100, if you plan to mark it as a % column.

% column means A/B, not A/B*100

I am kinda new to this platform as I used to work on r and python, could you please tell me exact pattern or formula to get it done.

I beg your pardon for asking spoon-feeding but for power bi, we gotta know the exact keyword to search the problem regarding the occurred issue.

 

thanks in advance and sorry for bothering you again.
