Sharepoint calculated coulumn and power automate percentage

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by balajimr2 7
Hi All,
 
I have a calculated column in share point which results in 79%.
 
I have to show this value in % in body of email notifications. But when I tried to do it, it shows decimal places 0.079767657 ONLY instead of 79%.
 
I have tried exploring int(), formatNumber() but no use. It says string value can not be converted to number. wrong usage of formula in expression.
 
Any thoughts and help much appreciated

    Hi @balajimr2,

     

    Could you please share the calculated column value how show in the output?

    Why it will show 0.079767657? Not 0.79767657?

    If it is miswritten, you could following the screenshot to approach that:

    use float() function convert it to float, then use Format number action convert it to percent format, the Format could set to "P01", it means has one decimal. If you want it to have no decimal, you could set it to "P00":

    Here are documents about number format in Microsoft for reference:

    Hi @v-litu-msft 

     

    My apologies for the typo. You made my day, have been trying multiple ways to convert that string to text. All efforts failed, was struggling last day.

     

    your solution worked flawless, Many thanks.

     

    Cheers,

    Balaji
