Calculate a percentage value in numeric calculation.

    Sorry for too many questions!
    I am trying to take off a percentage value out of a field. For example, field wage and field hours.

    I placed the following in the template of numeric calculation [wage]+[hours] and that works fine, but when I tried to add the percentage value like this [wage]-25%+[hours] didn’t work and returned the same value as without the percentage operation.

    Is there any way to achieve that?

    Thanks

    The template you’re using won’t give you the desired result.

    First, you shouldn’t use the “%” sign in the template, that will become a literal string, not a numeric value. % doesn’t function as an operator in the calculation template.

    Second, to get a percentage, you need to multiply. I don’t exactly understand what you’re trying to achieve, so I can’t give you the template you should use, but for example to get 25% of the wage value, you’d use:

    [wage]*0.25
