Percentage is a Format type & not a data type. So D is the correct answer.

I would go with B only because all other are totally incorrect. B is not entirly correct because there is no option Percentage under Data Type but under Format:Percentage which is misleading.

I would go with D. A. Create a calculated column that adds the % symbol to the values. - 100% incorrect B. From the Modeling tab, change the Data Type to Percentage. - 20% correct. Data Type is not the same as data format. Percentage is format so this should be incorrect. C. Edit the query of the data source and change the Data Type to Percentage. - 100% incorrect. Tested this option, went to Power Query and changed column values to percentage type, but nothing changed. D. Create a measure that adds the % symbol to the values. - 80% correct. I created 4 new measures (value, min, max, target) and formatted them as percentage and i get desired view. "Adds the % symbol" is not defined how to add.. if you just add "%" to calculation it will fail, but if you "add" it using format option it works.

Answer is C. There is no option to change datatype in Modelling tab(Option B). A and D is anyways not feasible. Tested Option C. It works : Go to Edit queries(Transform)-> Change the datatype of the column to Percentage. It works.

I think D is the correct answer. 1. In the modelling tab, in Report view, you cannot change the data type. 2. In the query editor, if you change the data type, it only adds a % sign. But the required visual should change 0.50 to 50.00%. 3. Obviously this KPI is the result of some measure so fix the calculated measure which is being shown on the KPI card.

But if you changed the Formatting for the measure it will automatically convert 0.50 to 50%, then set decimal to 2 places and you'll have 50.00%. But this is tricky though since you are in the Report View,

B, tested. Go to "Table View" Modeling ribbon tab, change the Data Type to "percentage" and keep 2 decimal.

I have to disagree with B as the correct answer. In the context of the question and the below link, C is the most correct answer. I have the most recent version of Power BI Desktop and the Modeling tab does not have the data type option. The easier place to make the change is in the query editor. You can create a measure to do anything you want, but knowing how MS creates their questions and answers they are looking for the most correct answer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-data-types

There are two ways to achieve this: 1. On PBI Desktop, click on your measure and formula will appear > Go to Modelling > Format as % or 2. Create a measure as : format([Measure Name],"percent") https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/how-to-add-sign-to-my-mesure-result/td-p/198571 The answer should be D. Percentage is a format type not data type.

D is correct. B is wrong because, there is no formatting option in modeling tab. (Simple yet tricky question)

Thing is..... I found another source that says it's "B". https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Percentage-formatting-for-calculated-measures-in-table/td-p/15332 So....I don't know!! (Frustrated b/c both answers are correct but I'll go with the "official" one. Hope it's the right one :/ -- ditto for many other questions!)

There is no option for changing to % in Modeling tab. Can be performed through Measure Tools or Column Tools. Answer D is correct.
