Help whit Type

[netanel]

Hello everyone,

I have a column that contains a TYPE of text, whole number, and a decimal number, and percentages.
I do not want to separate them.

Is there a way to use them so that wherever there is a percentage I will indeed get a percentage
And where an integer is needed an integer will come?

That is, a number of TYPE for one column

HI , @netanel 

Currently, Power BI does not support multiple data type formats in one column.

Just like handling column data in Excel, Power BI cannot determine the data format of each row, nor can it modify the data format in each row one by one.

For your requirement , you can add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas forum and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

@netanel , 

I'm not sure if that works. 

 You can keep that column as text but applying SUM and kind of functions don't work on text.
