I am trying to create a calculation in my query that will give me the percentage we are discounting a product from the MSRP.

For example, I have two fields

RetailPrice - set as Currency
MSRP - set as Currency

I created a query and typed in the following expression.

Discount: ([MSRP]-[RetailPrice])/([MSRP])

Although it is giving me the correct calculation, it isnt displaying it in the format I wanted.

For example,

MSRP - Retail Price / MSRP = Discount Percentage
27.00 - 21.95 / 27.00 = 0.187037037037037

Ideally, I would like for it to merely display as 19%. Is this possible? If so, how would one go about making that happen?

Thank you in advance,

Kim
 
Right click the field in the design view of query go to properties and set the format to currency of the calculated field
