Percentage

The Percentage field stores a numeric value and automatically displays a "%" sign after it. It is used to represent rates, ratios, completion levels, and any other metric expressed as a percentage.


For instructions on how to access field types or how to add one, see Field Types.

Capabilities

  • Store numeric values displayed with a "%" suffix
  • Use the value in Formula fields for percentage-based calculations
  • Filter and sort records by percentage value
  • Reference the field in automations as a condition or output value
  • Track completion rates, tax rates, discounts, and other ratio-based metrics

How to add a Percentage field

  1. Open your table and click + to add a new field.
  2. Select Percentage from the field type list.
  3. Enter a name for the field.
  4. Optionally mark the field as Required.
  5. Click Create.

Use Cases and Examples

  • In a "Projects" table, a Percentage field can track the completion rate of each project.
  • In a "Financial Statement" table, it can store the tax rate applied to each transaction.
  • In a "Sales" flow, it can hold the discount percentage offered on a deal.
  • In a "Campaigns" table, it can show the conversion rate of a marketing campaign.

Keep in Mind

  • The "%" symbol is display-only — the stored value is a plain number. Entering "50" displays as "50%", not "0.5". The field does not divide the value by 100.
  • The field does not enforce a range of 0 to 100 — values above 100 or below 0 are accepted.

FAQ

1 — Does entering "50" in the field mean 50% or 0.5%?

It means 50%. The field appends "%" to whatever number you enter without any conversion. If your formula returns 0.5 for 50%, multiply by 100 before storing it here.

2 — Can I use a Percentage field in a formula or automation?

Yes. The stored value is a plain number and can be used in Formula fields normally. In automations, you can use it as a condition (e.g., trigger when completion reaches 100) or as a value in actions.
