Percent format display

Hi,
I am new to Access and working a Report to display a Percentage value.
The value in db is a text with value 23

But when i apply Format = Percent in design view of Reports it renders it as 2300.00% while the expected is 23.00% . Please help me with this.

FormatPercent() function first takes the number, multiplies by 100 then adds the % symbol.

To work around this, first divide the number by 100, then pass it through the FormatPercent() (or store your numbers as decimals to begin with, i.e. .23 instead of 23)

Regards,
Scott
