    Percentage in report

    I am working with the FS: job sumary report and would like to add a percentage of profit next to the total profit field.  Will you share with me the procedure?

    As with any software development consultant, the role of Business Systems Consultants here at Method are to advise users of the best design practices as it pertains to a user’s specs.  If you can provide me with the specs of what you’re ultimately trying to do and how you wish to get there, I can offer you some general guidance on the best approach to implement it in Method (i.e. I want to take the value of X field and divide it by Y field and enter the resulting value into Z field).  It may also be a good idea to check around the site to see if we’re not already doing this somewhere else and then you can just follow our lead as often times similar action sets already exist.

    One other thing you might try is adding a Calculated field to your report.  You can right-click on the fields on the right hand side of the report designer and add a “Calculated Field” that can be dragged onto the designer.
