how to formatting a column in power bi have number and percentage in the same column

Hello @Abasalm 

can you make an example? WIth percentage you mean the symbol and you want to delete it and use only the number part?

If this so you can use this example

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlRVio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [NumberPercentage = _t]),
    ChangePercentage = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"NumberPercentage", Percentage.Type}})
in
    ChangePercentage

if you have two values in one cell, then you have make an exact data example with the expected result

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hello @Abasalm 

just to be clear... you want to format the column Q1 according to the symbol that is stated as first character in your KPI column?

Hello @Abasalm 

and use this for a little more professional formatting of the text 🙂

For other type of formatting (I integrated only % and $) you have to expand the if statement

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUlEoSS0uUdJRMjQAA6VYnWglVZiggY6RqVJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [KPI = _t, Q1 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"KPI", type text}, {"Q1", Percentage.Type}}),
    FormatQ1 = Table.TransformRows
    (
        #"Changed Type",
        (rec)=>
        if Text.Start(rec[KPI],1)="$" then   Record.TransformFields(rec,{"Q1",each Number.ToText(_, "n") & " $" }) else if Text.Start(rec[KPI],1)="%" then   Record.TransformFields(rec,{"Q1", each Number.ToText(_, "P1")}) else rec
    ), 

    RecordsTobTable = Table.FromRecords(FormatQ1)
in
    RecordsTobTable

Hello @Abasalm 

try this.It uses Table.TransformRows to check the first character of your KPI column and then it adds it as text to the Q1 column.

You could work also with a Table.AddColumn to do the same. This is only for visual, as the cell type is text.

Here the complete code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUlEoSS0uUdJRMjQAA6VYnWglVZiggY6RqVJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [KPI = _t, Q1 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"KPI", type text}, {"Q1", Percentage.Type}}),
    FormatQ1 = Table.TransformRows
    (
        #"Changed Type",
        (rec)=>
        if Text.Start(rec[KPI],1)="$" then   Record.TransformFields(rec,{"Q1",each Text.From(_) & " $"}) else if Text.Start(rec[KPI],1)="%" then   Record.TransformFields(rec,{"Q1",each Text.From(Number.From(_)*100) & " %"}) else rec
    ), 

    RecordsTobTable = Table.FromRecords(FormatQ1)
in
    RecordsTobTable
