Decimal places in Dataflow

Hi all,

 

I am creating a series of index in dataflow. Everything works well when data type is text (please see the example as per below)

However, when i changed data type from text to decimal number. Index 2.10 became 2.1.

Is there any way that I could set the decimal places to 2? 

Thanks for your help.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Tilly

Hi @Tillyz 

 

In Power Query it doesn't support to format the columns. You need to format the decimal places in the model with Power BI Desktop or with Datamart in Power BI Service. When you display the data in a visual, you will see numbers with 2 decimal places.
