I have a report using OutlookSoft expansions [underlying program is Excel] where I need to have some columns in $ and some columns in %. MDX expansions are overriding my % format because the upper left cell of the data range controls the expansion formatting for the entire data area.

Is there a way to conditionally set the % format in an IF statement or using custom formatting? I have a property on the dimension set I can use in the IF statement but have been unable to figure out how to write the statement to set up the % format. Thanks.

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
You might be able to use custom formatting. It depends on whether your numbers fall into specific ranges for the formats. For example:
Code:
[<1]0.0%;0.0
will format figures less than 1 as percents.
