Percentage formatting issues when exporting to excel in power bi report server

 have created a measure 'rate' in my report . I have set the formatting of this measure to dynamic format

IF(
    SELECTEDMEASURE() = "---",
    "---",
    IF(
        ISNUMBER(SELECTEDMEASURE()),
        IF(
            SELECTEDMEASURE() <> INT(SELECTEDMEASURE()),
          "#0.00%",
            "#0%"
        )
    )
)

. This works perfectly fine in the visual.
However when I publish up to the sever and then export into excel the % changes to a decimal number.

You could create a paginated report to export your data. Those allow very fine grained control over the layout and formatting.

The on-prem report server does not support exporting with the current layout (which includes the formatting) see Compare Power BI Report Server and the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn It only supports exporting summarized data which does not include the formatting.

okay thanks.
Are there any workarounds I can do to solve my issue?
