We created a chart and want to show a percent. However, Access is displaying 50% as 5000%. Any idea, why?
 
A percentage is actually a fraction - divide your calculation by 100.

eg

=1/2 in general number format would display 0.5
=(1/2)* 100 in general number format would display 50

in precentage format the display would be
50% and 5000% recpectively.
