Is there a way to create a calculated column within a report?

I looking to get the percent of a budget spent on a report without having to create a new calculated field on a project. Is this possible? Assuming you have two columns in the report, total project budget and total project actuals. Is there a way of using text mode to compare to columns straight from the report and subtract the values to return a total within a new column? Here's what I have so far: aggregator.name=DE:IT Actual Amount PJT aggregator.valueexpression=ROUND(IF(ISBLANK({DE:IT Actual Amount PJT}))),1) displayname=% IT Budget Spent linkedname=direct namekey=IT Actual Amount PJT textmode=true valuefield=IT Budget Amount PJT valueformat=compound Thanks in advance for your help.

Big thanks to @Doug Williams who offered great insight and support on how to leverage text mode to build a calculated custom column. I was able to get a percent of a budget spent on a project. Please note using the calculated column within a report means you can't use custom filters or sort the data values. Here's the code to build for a custom calculated column within a report. displayname=Percent IT Budget Spent namekey=IT Actual Amount PJT textmode=true valueexpression=ROUND(DIV({DE:IT Actual Amount PJT},{DE:IT Budget Amount PJT})*100,0) valueformat=doubleAsPercent On a project object, we have two calculated fields pulled into a report. This formula is equating two custom fields, subtracting the values then returning the value in a percent format. Hope this helps someone else.
