Recently, we created a simple automated flow based on when an item is created in SharePoint, it will notify the user. We fetch this flow with a SharePoint list having columns such as employee’s name(people column), leave type(choice column), start date & end date(date-time column).

Also, we have created a calculated column named total days to calculate the total days between the start date to end date.

After submitting the request, the user gets a successful email about request submission. For this, here is our flow:

But in our case, when the user got the email, the total days coming as a decimal number like below:

But this is not the correct way to return the total days in a decimal format. So here is the solution how to covert this decimal number to a whole number in Power Automate or Flow.

First, we will add a compose action after the “When an item is created” action. For this, click on the down arrow between the two actions(When an item is created and send an email). Then it will show the options to add an action.

Click on that option, it will ask to choose an operation. Here we will search for compose operation on the search bar. And selects that action i.e (Compose – Data operation). Then as inputs, we will add dynamic content as “Total Days” from our SharePoint list.

Similarly, after this compose we will add another compose action where we will insert an expression that will convert the output of compose1 to the whole number.

To insert an expression, after add compose action, click on the expression instead of dynamic content, then insert the below expression on the formula bar and click on Update.

int(outputs('Compose'))

Now on the “send an email” action, we will use the output of Compose 2 instead of the total days like below:

Then Save the flow and test it. Now we can see the days converted to the whole number successfully like below. We can check it in our Outlook mailbox.

After submitting the task report in SharePoint List, the Manager will get the notification. For this, here is our Flow:

To insert an expression, After adding the Compose action, click on Expression instead of Add dynamic contents. Then insert the below formula on that expression bar and click on Update.

formatNumber(outputs('Compose'),'P0')

Step-3:

Now we will use this output(output of the compose2) at the Send an Email action.

Then just Save the flow and test it. Now, we can see when the Manger or user got that mail the completed data is coming as a percentage:

This is how to convert a decimal number to a percentage in Power Automate flow.
