How do I use the below script on more than 1 field as current it gives an error on other fields

if (event.value != "") {
event.value = util.printf("%0.2f",event.value)+"%";
}

I updated my program to show decimal and % sign on my calculation

var x = Number(event.value).toFixed(2);
event.value = x.toString()+ " %"

if(event.value == 0 || event.value == "0.00 %") {
event.value = "";}

Is it working now?

You know, that after line #2 that "event.value" will never be 0.

Yes it is working. Sometimes the form is printed without filling the fields so we have to remove the 0

Do you have any calculations that are using division?

Try this, remove the format script so you can see what the "value" is that is causeing trouble. Then you can add code to test for that value.

I removed the string "%" and there is no error but once the string is removed there is no need for the script as the number format category displays the decimal. The script was created to have both the decimal and % sign out put. Another way would be using the percentage category and write a script to divide the value by 100.
