Hi

Is there a way to add a suffix depending on the number of characters in a column. in other words, I have a column that shows the size of the file. What I would like to do is show the size in K or M depending on the size. So if the file size is over 1MB, then it would show the file size as xx.xx M. If it is under then it will show it as a K value

Thanks in advance

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Thank you, but this is in Excel, I would like it to be a Column generated in Power Query.

You can use something like:

Power Query:
=if [V]>1048576 then Number.ToText([V] / 1048576, "F2") & "MB" else Number.ToText([V] / 1024, "F2") & "KB"

where V is the name of your field (assumes it's in bytes)
