Have result of calculation display with percent sign

[mdawn50]

I'm using FormCalc to sum a column of

values from drop-down lists, then multiply times the total of points divided by 100. The calculation works fine, but I'd like a percent (%) sign to appear in the field where the calculation is after the calculated number. The number is appearing, I just can't figure out how to get the percent sign to display.

Thanks,

Use a display pattern to set up a mask for displaying the number and the % sign afterward. There are good examples of valid patterns in the setup screen

Hi,

You can set this in the Object > Field tab, by selecting Patterns.

Select the percentage from the display tab.

If you want to set the number of decimal places, then you can use a general number pattern and then add '%' within the curly brackets.

Hope that helps,

Niall
