How do you make a custom field return a percent value

I am creating a custom field that would compare the actual
%complete to the Planned % complete based on duration. So
on a task that has a 10 day duration if we are 5 days into
it and the %work complete is less than 50% the field will
use a graphical indicator to flag it as slipping. But I
first need to set up a field that returns a percent value
and I have had no luck doing this yet....Any help would be
greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Ron

You should not need to use a percent value, but if you do simply multiply
the value by 100.
If you want it to show as a percent, use a text field and append a %

<whatever>*100 & "%"
