Formatting Decimal Plances

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello 

 

I have seen this mentioned through multiple posts however, I have followed each post I have found with none solving my issue.

 

We have a SharePoint List which has a calculated column with the below formula 

 

=ROUNDUP(IF(ISBLANK(Cost),0,IF(Cost<25,25,Cost*1.2)),2)

 

This provides an output like 25.00, 36.58, 125.33 etc.

 

When I pull this into Power Apps it comes through as 25.000000000000000, 36.580000000000000, 125.330000000000000 etc.

 

I have seen other posts recommend TEXT([value],"#.##") or ROUNDUP([value],2) but neither have worked for me.

 

I have also tried setting the calculated column to Single Line of Text, Number (2 decimals) and Currency (GBP with 2 decimals).

 

Have I missed a setting?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    I have struck that one before and my solution (such as it is) is to simply do the calculation by either a Variable or a hidden label in PowerApps as all the source fields are available.

    Hi @Anonymous 

    The text formatting function applies to numeric input values only. The thing that's most likely happening is that SharePoint is returning the value as a string, which explains why your formula doesn't work.

    The solution is to convert your value to a number by calling the Value function within your call to Text. This should hopefully resolve the problem.
