Display of % character in grid using 'p' cellsformat

[Mr.MooParticipant]

I have a ko.computed() value that calculates a percentage returning the value using .toFixed(2) when the grid is first rendered it correctly displays as 0% in the grid’s column. However, when the values affecting the calculation are changed and the value is re-displayed it loses its % identifier in the column e.g. 7.59 is this behaviour correct?

If not, then how do I retain the % symbol in the column’s output short of writing a custom renderer.

Hi Mr.Moo,

The cellsformat property of a column defines how a cell value is displayed in the column. You will not lose the character when the column values are Numbers so check whether your custom code puts numbers there, not Strings or some Objects.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Looking at the documentation I note that .toFixed() returns a string so explains why the % symbol was being lost. So to fix it I prepended my return statement with a +. i.e. return +(MyPercentCalc).toFixed(2)
