Format Custom Number Field ?

Laz

I have used a custom number field for a calculation. Can I format the field?
I would like to format this column as a percent, similar to % Complete.

Laz,
Sorry, no. Spare number fields can only contain numbers, no alpha
characters. Your best bet is to use a spare text field, then you can
concatenate it with whatever alpha characters you want.

a concatenate command/formula to use for a text field. can you give me some
further direction on how I would use a spare text field, to concatenate it
with whatever alpha characters I want.

Laz,
You're welcome. It looks like you re-posted and that Julie took care of
you.
