Hello everyone,
I am trying to create two calculated columns namely Difference between forecast over actuals
Forecast over actuals = [TOTAL HISTORY] / [TOTAL FCST]
Difference between actual over forecast
Actuals over forecast = [TOTAL FCST] / [TOTAL HISTORY]
For some reason instead of difference (ideally in I want to get the result in %) I am getting some weird symbols or 0s. Does someone know how to fix it?
Please let me know.

I also wonder how did you make the column box line disappear.

Greg, thank you. Do you know how I can make it in %?
@Anonymous Select the column in either Report or Data view and then in Column Tools in the ribbon, click the % button.
@Anonymous Dividing by zero will do that. Try DIVIDE([TOTAL FCST],[TOTAL HISTORY],0)
