Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please describe more details about your scenario? We need to know the data type of "Yr 1 ROI" column in your source file and if you make any changes for the column in Power BI Desktop.

Based on my test, if you change the type of "Yr 1 ROI" column to whole number and then Decimal number in Data View of Power BI Desktop, the "Yr 1 ROI" column will not show up properly.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

"Yr 1 ROI" column in source file = Number

"Yr 1 ROI" column in PBI = Decimal Number

 

they are probably on whole number before, but I changed them back.  "3 Yrs ROI" works fine but not "Yr 1 ROI", they are same calculation and format in both excel and PBI.
