Hey @ASHccccc, as far as I know the only way to create a percentage in that exact format with the notation is to create a string field with something along the following lines as an expression - just need to replace [Number] with your field:

 

 

ToString([Number]*100)+'%'

thx for the prompt response @messi007, may I ask one more question that how to make the  decimal places 2 digits only? when some results came out like 0.33333333333, it'll show a long long number....

Hi @ASHccccc 

 

Use this expression within the formula:

 

 

 

ToString(Round([Field1]*100,0.01))+"%"
