Solved: Re: Display % correctly in input box - Qlik Community

Report Inappropriate Content · ‎2015-09-23

I have an input box where users can input a desired percent (%) and it gets set to a variable. The variable is then used to calculate another variable to be used in a chart. The issue is when inputting a number, for example = 25, it displays 2500% instead of 25%. How can I change this without requiring users to put in .25?

Thank you Settu!! This got me a lot closer.. I left off the &'%' in the trigger because it would add a second one when I changed the number again but I was able to use the trigger to get what I needed and then check the % box in the input box number tab and it is now working as I would like

Why you not use just an other format for example number with 2 decimals?

I mean in the Inputbox you can define a format, so in that case u just have to do like that:

it's not the text object that is displaying it incorrectly, it's the input box.

I see what you're doing. The issue is that I want it to display the correct % in the input box, not an additional text object. I want this to say 33% not 33.00 in the input box.
