MS Access Make Table query change number format to Currency and Percent

Asked by jmerulla in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , , , ,

Good Afternoon,

I am using a Make Table Query to make a new table.  The query pulls from a table where the data elements are formated as Number  [DataElement]   and [DataElement2]

The first thing I need to do is to convert [DataElement] and [DataElement2] as currency.  then divide [DataElement] by [DataElement2] as a percent.

When it makes the table, it leaves the two data elements as numbers and the percent calc as a number or I've used Format([DataElement], "Currency") and the make table query, has it as text.  Weird.
