Display value as either number or percentage

‎10-25-2017 10:12 AM

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the format of a value, say from number to percent, based on another column.  I have values in a column that can display as either number or percent based on what type of value they are.  I'd like to use these as display values on  a shape map or in tables, but I haven't found a way to dynamically change the display format.

No, it's not possible to dynamically change the format for a column. You can only specify one format.
