### Percent operator

Crystal syntax.

##### Usage

`x % y`

Calculates value x as a percentage of value y. That is (x/y) * 100.

##### Examples

The following examples are applicable to Crystal syntax:

`{file.BALANCE OUTSTANDING} % {file.CREDIT LIMIT}`

Returns 30.00, where {file.BALANCE OUTSTANDING} = $1500 and {file.CREDIT LIMIT} = $5000.

`{file.AMOUNT} % {file.CREDIT LIMIT}`

Returns 32.26, where {file.AMOUNT} = 2257.87 and {file.CREDIT LIMIT} = 7000.

Note: If the denominator equals 0, the report will be halted with a divide by zero protection. If you want to avoid this type of problem, you should put a test in.

If {file.FORECAST} = 0 Then
0
Else
{file.SALES} % {file.FORECAST}
