We’ve made a small but important change to how percentage values are handled in Abacum, to make formatting clearer and more intuitive for everyone.

What’s changing?

Previously, Abacum offered two different formatting options for percentage-like values:

• Rate (which correctly displayed 60% if the value was 0.6)
• Percentage (which incorrectly displayed 0.6% when the value was 0.6)

As this was confusing, we’ve simplified things:

• The old "Percentage" format is being removed
• The "Rate" format has been renamed to "Percentage", as this is the behavior users expect

Now, when you choose "Percentage", it will correctly show 60% for a value of 0.6 — just like in Excel or Google Sheets.

What have we done on our side?

To make this transition smooth:

• We’ve updated existing formats where possible. If you were using the old "Percentage" format, we’ve migrated those values to the new "Percentage" (formerly called "Rate").
• In some cases, if the formatting wasn’t clearly a percentage, we’ve migrated the value to plain "Number" format to avoid assumptions.

What do you need to do?

Nothing! Your values should appear exactly the same as before.But if you notice anything that looks off, feel free to reach out to suppor team, and we’ll take a look.
