Format percentage value in a query
I have a query in which an expression divides two numbers to yield a
result I'd like to express as a percentage.
e.g.,
UPDATE tbl2007_conference SET tbl2007_conference.Present erRating1_ perc = PresenterRating1/(NumberAt tendees*10 0);
Is there a format function or data conversion type I can
apply to the expression such that the datasheet generated by the query
will directly show a percentage value (i.e. 7.5%)? Thanks for any help.

That makes sense. Do you have an example of how I could format this on a form?

Thanks for your help with this!
You're welcome!
Any of that formatting you would set in the display. For example, you can set up a query field
or a form or report control to display any particular number format you want. The data are not
stored that way, though.
