Hi.
I am fairly new to PowerBI and need some help.
I have this report that shows a computers filter in left side... and data on right side.
How can I make a filter, where I can get shown only computers/disks with where PercentFree is below "10" ?
Do I make a calculated column, a measure, ? sorry for the newbie question)
My datatype for percentage column was set to Decimal.
I just changed it to Percentage.
But the decimal values are not showing correctly
the top one is showing 7029,00% - but it should be 70,29%.
can anyone help me?
I just want the percentage to show 70,29% instead of 7029,00%.
Hi @aso1 ,
Your original value is not a percentage. Please divide by 100 before converting it to %.
thanks a lot!..
I divided the original column by 100 and added a percentage type. now the column looks fine.
however, now the report looks weird. it is not similar to the column.
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks both for detailed replys. I think I didnt explain well enough.
What I would like is to have a filter on the left side, right below the 'computers' filter.
that filter should say "show computers below 10% free-diskspace.
when that button is pressed, it should show only computers where free-diskspace is < 10%.
otherwise, the list should be complete as it is.
Not sure how to accomplish that.
I've played around with conditional formatting, which works great. I just want the filter-function in the left side as well.
thanks once again!
Hi @aso1 ,
I noticed you have already got a percentage column, you could use filter pane to get results you want.
If you want a measure, you could refer to the following measure:
Measure =
CALCULATE (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[PercentFree] ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[PercentFree] < 10 )
)
Then use this measure to replace [PercentFree].
click in the right visual (the table) and observe the filter panel - it will now show "Filters on this visual" with the fields in the table as possibe filters. Select the PercentFree dropdown and specify your filter criterion ("Less than 10").
