    Chart, keeping number formatting from query

    Hello, my report is pulling an "accuracy" field from a query. In the query the accuracy field divides errors / orders booked for an accuracy rating and I set the formating to "percetnage". However when the graph pulls the data it shows it as a decimal, for instance 99% in the query is .99 on the line graph.



    How can I keep the percentage formatting for the graph?

    Thank you,

    Unfortunately, format property settings don't seem to carry through to graph. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage number. Don't think can get the % symbol to show. Show it in an axis label.

    Another approach for your consideration, depending upon your application needs ...
    Before I retired I was responsible for a large database, containing details of some 2 million traffic contraventions. We needed the processing power of Access but I found that Excel was much better for graph preparation and stats presentation, so our standard procedure was to export the processed data into a spreadsheet for final publication.
    It depends on whether your application justifies the effort of setting up the procedures.
