Hello all,
I want to just place a percentage sign at the end of my data, but when I change from decimal number to percentage my data is multiplied by 100. So 3,4 = 340%. I don't want this, I just want 3,4% in my dataset. How can I change this?
Greetings,

Hi @0xygen27
A genuine percentage is actually a number between 0 and 1.
So what you understand as a percentage of 3,4 is actually 0,034 (3.4 is actually 0.034)
Why not divide your number by 100 and then format it as a percentage?
Hi @0xygen27,
Why so you divide 50 columns at once? Could you please share more details?
If you format the columns as percentage, please click the column->Data Type->Format, select percentage like the context highlighted in red line.
Best Regards,
Angelia

What is your source? Are you using SQL

I had a colum with percentages without the % mark, I just wanted to place a % mark behind it. It was a Opendata file, but it was just a testing file and I moved away from the file, because it wasn't good enough. Thanks for your help though 🙂
HI Phil_Seamark,
I totally forgot about the 0-1, thanks for your reply 🙂
