Percentage Format Percent Sign % moves to a new line.

  • SQL 2005 Reporting services.

    In my report, when I format a column as a Percentage,the percent % pushes the % sign to a new line.

    Example; 34

    %

    Instead of 34%

    If I remove the formatting, obviously the number is no longer a percentage but it still is on the same line, there is no new line introduced.

    Anyone have an idea for how I can fix this problem?

    Thanks

  • Make the column width a bit bigger?

  • Thanks for the reply but

    I had increased the width of the column many times in a effort to resolve the problem, before I posted my question.

  • How about a screenshot?

  • Sorry for the delay. I have just now been able to get back to this.

    I have two screen shots, one from Internet Explorer and one from Chrome.

    In I.E. the report displays the columns correctly.

    In Chrome the columns are "compressed".

    Anyone have a fix for this?

    Thanks

  • My guess is that SSRS 2005 doesn't really support chrome.

    You can either upgrade to a later edition or use Internet Explorer.

    Or maybe Chrome has an add-in that has some backwards compatibility rendering for IE, like FireFox has.
