Report Studio - Computations

[UcfMike]

Say I have a value which equals .23067, but I format to look like %23. If I do a computation on that value Cognos will use .23067, not the formatted value. Is there a way to force Cognos to use the formatted value?

No, and why would you want to use a formatted value for calculations?
Formatting is for presentation and how do you suppose any sort of calc would work with %23 (as % is a string value)?

I agree with you and I don't want to use the formatted values. However, the user apparently has an affection for using incorrect data.

thanks for the clarification.
