Possible percentage bug

Hello!

I have a Power apps Canvas app that works integrated with a Sharepoint list.

In this list, I have a column that calculates values based on other columns, presenting the result in %. Below, an example with dummy values:

 

 

I need to show this column value at my canvas app. But when I do so, the values are appearing like this:

 

I understand that any text format applied to the Sharepoint list is only cosmetic and only applies to the list itself, not being carried to the app, so, the most logical solution I thought was to multiply the cell value by 100 or add the "%" symbol at the end. In both cases, the value that once was 0.1590 now is huge, for some reason

 

 

For it to show up as "15,90", which is what I need, the solution would be to DIVIDE the cell value by 100000000000!!



Anyone knows why this is happening?
Also, how could I make it that only the first 2 decimals are shown?

Thank you!

    Hi Larifogo
     
    I think the cause of this problem is that your SharePoint server is configured for US English, based on the value of GalleryBU.Selected.CostReduction being 0.15909090909090909.
     
    The language of your Power App appears to be Spanish, so it isn't able to parse 0.15909090909090909 correctly because it expects a comma as the decimal point symbol (eg, 0,15909090909090909). When you multiply by 100, it therefore ignores the "." symbol which results in your huge number.
     
    Therefore, I would try calling the Value function and specifying English as the locale. That should hopefully return the correct value for you.
     
    Value(GalleryBU.Selected.CostReduction; "en") * 100
