How to format new measure (not column) in power BI as percentage?

问题

When I create a new measure with formula, i.e. sum(col1)/max(col2), it automatically converts the result into #.#% format. Strangely, it doesn't happen all the time; sometimes it just gives result #.## format.

Any idea of how to format a new measure (not column) to be treated as percentage?

In Power BI there is a option in the taskbar when you enter your measure.

In Power Pivot for Excel you can select the format directly in the measure editor (Or editor for calculated fields. The name depends on your version of Excel)

If you want to take over manually you can also use the Format() formula:

= FORMAT(Sum(Table[Field]),"0.00%")

There is another way to convert the value into % in Power BI Desktop.

1. Create a measure with simple Divide formula
2. Click on the name of measure in FIELDS section
3. Go to Modeling tab and select % sign in Formatting section

The field will automatically be converted to % value.
