Default Report Chart - Data Table won't stay percentage - 03-26-2009 , 08:43 AM






Hi All,

I am making a report showing average % of different ages groups over
several years. I really need to use the data table as part of my
chart, but I can't because I can't get the numbers to format as
percentages. I have formatted everything I can think of, but nothing
works. Help!

Thanks,
:-)
Laura

Use a query instead of the table as the chart's data source. You can
use the Format() function to display the value as a percentage:

Format(percentage_value, "Percent")

Format(.0025, "Percent") -> 0.25%

HTH,
