How to format Numeric Display chart as percentage?

Stephen Johnson shared this problem 5 years ago
Defect Fixed

I have created a calculated field that is formatted as a percentage. When I add that field to a Numeric Display chart, it is no longer formatted as a percentage. How can I get it to format as a percentage?

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for reaching out. You've stumbled upon a bug here that is set to Highest priority and is actively being looked at. I think testing is actually complete and is under review. Nevertheless the build this fix may be included in is at least a month and a half away. Fortunately, in the meantime there is a relatively simple workaround.

Instead of using the Percent formatter, keep the format set to Numeric, and put % in the suffix, like so:

Now it shows up correctly in Numeric Display Chart:

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Stephen,

Indeed. I've set this to Defect Logged, so that when it's marked as Closed in our internal system I'll be prompted to let you know the fix version is available.

Hi Stephen,

Just updating you this has been marked as fixed and will be included in our next build 7.4.6, which will likely be out mid-June. I'll let you know when the new build is published.

Hi Stephen,

As per our phone call, a more specific update regarding this... The details for this fix are as follows: "Resolved an issue where numeric charts were not formatting metric values with data level formats." This leads me to believe this won't just fix percent formatting, but other formatting choices in the Data section of the report builder as well. So, good news here, I think! We'll of course have to test this when 7.4.6 is published. As previously noted, I'll let you know when that is.

Regards,

Mike
