I want to create a column in dataverse that concatenatyes some decimal number columns. Decimal places is set to 2 on the columns i want to concatenate

if i perform concat(column1,Column2) i get a result of for example 25.000000000050.0000000000

for some reason it adds 10 decimal places anmd i don't see a Format option in calculated field

What is wrong here?

Hi,

Are you trying to concatenate two decimal number field to a text field (calculated) ? If you are using currency field then check the system setting as well.

Hello, @jja , Concat is treating your decimal as text values. Are you trying to sum the decimal values into new column?

You can also, try the Power Fx Formula Column: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-fx-formula-columns-in-dataverse/

Hi @jja ,

I agree with @AhmedSalih to review the Power Fx Formula columns as this should accomplish your needs. Note, this is still in Public Preview so not appropriate for production environments yet.
