I have two fields STD_TRK_CNTRB_CM1_AMT and NET_RVNU_AMT.i want to compute a field as “Gross Margin %” .

for e.g value of STD_TRK_CNTRB_CM1_AMT is 1000 and NET_RVNU_AMT is 20. I want to show the value of STD_TRK_CNTRB_CM1_AMT /NET_RVNU_AMT as 20% in the report.

what would be the code?
please advice ASAP.

I think that what Ramkumar means is that what you are requesting: dividing 1000 by 20 is giving 50 but not 50%.

So, to calculate a gross margin percentage is much more like: (sales_amt - cost_amt) / sales_amt * 100

Or: (1 - ((sales_amt - margin_amt) / sales_amt)) * 100

In your case, if I understand properly your first post:
(1- ((1000 - 20) / 1000)) * 100 = 2%
