Integer to percentage...

Post by Emetsky_(Guest) » Tue Jan 17, 2006 3:37 pm

Hi Kathleen! ^need your help.____I have a 2 digit integer input field on the Data-Entry Screen.____Users would input 10 or 3 with no decimal points.____But on the Report, I would like to transform the 10 or 3 into a .10 or .3 ____I^m not talking about merely formatting the integer field as a percentage.____Is this possible? ____TIA,__Emetsky____

You could create a calc field that is datafield/100 and then format that field to display as a percent.______Kathleen__R&R Support__

You may need to format the field to show 2 decimals to have it export the full decimal value.____Kathleen__R&R Support
