Reports with percentage

KEVIN97810

Hello to all,
Access 2000
I have 2 fields on my report and I want to know the percentage of both
fields. I tried something like this and it gives me ERROR in the
SalesPercentage textbox,

txtSalesPercentage
controlSource = [totalsales] / [numberofsales]

Example

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage
101 231 5
???

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage
1092 231 5
???

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage
234 231 5
???

thanks for any help.

Is it
controlSource = [totalsales] / [numberofsales]
Or
controlSource = =[totalsales] / [numberofsales]

The first character in the control source should be an equal sign.

Example

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage
101 231 5
???

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage
1092 231 5
???

Dept TotalSales NumberofSales
SalesPercentage

Lenny,

I suppose the problem is caused by the datatypes you tried to display
in the report. Percentages do need a datatype like floating-point. If
calculated in a SQL-statement it can be necessary to convert at least
one of the fields to double cdbl(totalsales) to get a useful datatype
that can be formatted as percentage by the reporter.
