Showing percentage values as numbers

When I include percentage as a data label when using a pie chart, it automatically has two decimal points and will not allow me to change the % decimal places under data labels. I knoe others have encountered problems with this, and (as suggested) I have created a calculated column for percentage and changed it to zero decimal places in modelling, but the pie chart visual label is still coming up with two decimal places. 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi @Linda200

 

As burento said, you may enter 0 in '% decimal places' filed.

When you create a new Measure,  go to Modelling  and change the format to whole number and put 0 decimal places.

 

I tested it and it works

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I had created a calulated column for the percentages. Will try creating a measure instead. Nevertheless, I find it odd that the pie chart "auto" does not allow for the percentage to be changed. Thanks again.

In the formatting section of the pie chart visual, under detail labels, there should a menu showing % decimal places. You can set it to zero.

Thank you, however, that menu option is greyed out, and won't let me change it. That's the root of my problem.
