Data-type question

Hi all,

In power query, I have certain data presented as follows:

In Excel, after loading power query, it shows likes this:

My question: how do I get Excel to automatically present the same format as in power query?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Robin.

Hi @RobinHaerkens 

 

About your Q: How do you get Excel to automatically present the same format as in power query?

I would love to be corrected here but to the best of my knowledge that is not possible for type facets... and

"Percentage" is a type facet, meaning it shows as a % but the value is actually of a number type. 

 

Since the output is to an Excel table, you can quickly change the format for that column to a percentage, but I am confident you already know this.

 

I hope this is helpful.
