Display percentages in C&D

written on 08/16/2010

It can be difficult to display percentages on a map in C&D when values are below 1 in the data source. Remember: 20% = 0.2

It is possible to show these values as percentages.

For example, we want to display the following values:

CountryForest area in2009
Source : Evaluation of the world forest resources 2000 ( FAO)
AR-Argentine-
BO-Bolivie0,489
BR-Bresil0,643
CL-Chili-
CO-Colombie0,478
EC-Equateur0,381
GY-Guyane0,785
GF-Guyane-Francaise0,899
PY-Paraguay0,588
PE-Perou0,509
SR-Surinam0,905
UY-Uruguay-
VE-Venezuela0,561

Direct inserts in C&D do not allow direct readability

However, you can display values in % using a calculation module and setting parameters of the Values module.

The calculation module multiplies values by 100:

C&D Hocus-pocus - Display percentages in C&D - Dialog box of the Values module
C&D Hocus-pocus - Display percentages in C&D - Calculation module

The values module adds the % symbol to each value
