Properties of Percentage Formatting window
The Percentage Formatter has similar settings to the Amount Formatter, but it uses different interpretation rules. It is used to unify percentage formats, and returns errors and warnings when the interpretation rules are not satisfied. It also tries to correct minor recognition errors automatically using the following settings:
If this validation method is in a sequence of validation methods, it is not fired if the previous validation method fails.
