How to add a % symbol to a value if the percentage calculation has already been done on the data source

    If you are adding value that is already a percentage in the data (i.e the x100 calculation to make it a percentage has already been done on the data source) but the actual % symbol is not displayed you can add in the % symbol by doing the following:

    • Double click on the data box
    • Select Custom from the "Output" dropdown in data properties
    • Type the following syntax: 0\%
    • If you wanted to add an extra decimal point you would put: 0.0\%
