Convert Fixed Decimal To Text

Hi all, 

 

I have a column of type "Fixed Decimal Number".  When i convert this to text, the decimal places dissapear.

What i want to achieve is to merge cells withou removing the decimals  :

125,23 USD

2.558,58 EUR

558,00 EUR

 

When i merge the columns, decimal places dissapear (if ,0 or ,00 or ,5 or ...)

I want to keep the two decimal places always.

Hi,

Add column

Number.ToText([AMOUNT],"F") &" "& [CURRENCY]

https://gorilla.bi/power-query/custom-format-strings/

 

or 

= Table.CombineColumns(
Table.TransformColumns(
PrevStep,
{{"AMOUNT", each Number.ToText(_,"F")}}),
{"AMOUNT", "CURRENCY"},
Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.None),
"Merged"
)
