Hello, 

 

I have a formatting issue when importing as seen below(In Alteryx)

jmckenna97_0-1680701009452.png

 

They need to be displayed in the below format (as it is in Excel)

I have tried playing around with format and the field types and have no luck. 

 

Can someone advise?

Changing your input number to Fixed Decimal (I used 19,9) I don't the scientific output

I used this formula to get the percentage- 2 decimal places:
tostring(
([Number])*100,2)
+ '%'
