Hi Dino,
Thank you so much! This solved the problem, I can now see the value in my email now:

However, do you know how I can see that value (0.0689) in percentage? The measure is a percentage column.

Hi kaym ,

When you create the measure, had you clicked here to change the value into percentage?

If you've already set it up, but it's still presented as a decimal, then there's no way to set up how the measure is displayed in the email.

hi Dino!

I did set it up as %. seems like I will have to stay with a decimal value. Thanks though!
