March 29, 201213 yr Hello, Is it possible to have a numerical field that is referenced within a text calculation display as percent? Right now it will only display as decimal: My calculation is: If(PO Tax flag="Yes";"Sales Tax @" & Tax::Tax Rate;Resale Information). Currently the Tax::Tax Rate information displays as "Sales Tax @ 0.0775" and I would like it to display "Sales Tax @ 7.75%". I have to keep my calculation as text so that "Sales Tax" displays and I've tried formatting the Tax::Tax Rate field to display as a percent but of course it only does works in the table it resides in. I feel like there's got to be a quick and simple work around to this but nothing is coming to me. Any other ideas? Many thanks!
