Format string as percentage

madhuparnadhar — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 04:38:30 GMT

Hello all,

I am trying to format a string into percentage, but really struggling with Num and Num# functions. Below is the data which I receive from the data source :

Product Name	Rate
P1	5.766233766233767
P2	0.0
P3	4.247104247104247
P4	0.0
P5	4.086538461538462
P6	4.975124378109453
P7	0.0
P8	3.3932135728542914
P9	0.0
P10	4.10958904109589

I would like the field "Rate" (which is a string) to be formatted as percentage with only two places after decimal (so 5.76% for P1 say). I have to keep the number formatting as Auto, so I need to achieve this by Num/Num# functions.

Can anyone please help me ?

Thanks and Regards,

Madhuparna Dhar

Perhaps this?

Floor(Rate, '0.01')

Hi,

use this

load
"Product Name",
num(num#(Rate,'#.0############','.',',')/100,'#.## %','.',',') as Rate;
LOAD * INLINE [
Product Name, Rate
P1, 5.766233766233767
P2, 0.0
P3, 4.247104247104247
P4, 0.0
P5, 4.086538461538462
P6, 4.975124378109453
P7, 0.0
P8, 3.3932135728542914
P9, 0.0
P10, 4.10958904109589
];
