I'm working with a numeric formula displaying as a percent. I need to extract this value and use it in a text field. When I put it in there, it displays with a string of 10+ decimal points. 

I tried converting the percent formula to a simple number formula and a text formula, and they all produce the decimal point string.

Anyone know how to convert a formula percent field to a value in a text formula field?

      No problem

      The value for say 12.475% is actually stored as 0.12475 but just displays as 12.475% for visual purposes.  Or if you show fewer decimals in the field properties it would get shows as say 12.4%

      So use

      ToText(Round ([my percent field],0.01) * 100) and that would give you 12.47

      or

      ToText(Round ([my percent field],0.1) * 100) for 12.4

      or

      ToText(Round ([my percent field]) * 100) for 12
      ToText(Round ([my percent field]) * 100) for 12

      I would like for my percent text conversion to display as 12% 
      I am using the formula above
       Please and thank you!
      Please disregard above.  I fixed it :)

      New formula:

      ToText(Round([Task 1 Progress])*100)&"% "
