# FormatPercent [VBA]

Returns a string with a number formatting applied to a numeric expression. A percent sign is appended to the returned string.

This constant, function or object is enabled with the statement Option VBASupport 1 placed before the executable program code in a module.

### Syntax:

          FormatPercent( expression, [numDigitsAfterDecimal As Integer], [includeLeadingDigit As Integer], _
              [useParensForNegativeNumbers As Integer], [groupDigits As Integer] ) As String

### Return value:

String

### Parameters:

expression: Required. A numeric expression to be formatted. If expression is a string, then the decimal and thousands separator need to be localized.

numDigitsAfterDecimal: Optional. A numeric value specifying the number of digits that should be displayed after the decimal. If omitted, it defaults to the value -1, meaning that the default settings for user interface locale should be used.

includeLeadingDigit: Optional. A vbTriState enumeration value, specifying whether a leading zero should be displayed for fractional values.

- vbTrue or -1: Display a leading zero.

- vbFalse or 0: Do not display leading zeros.

- vbUseDefault or -2: Use the user interface locale settings. This is the default when omitted.

useParensForNegativeNumbers: Optional. A vbTriState enumeration value specifying whether negative numbers should be encased in parenthesis.

- vbTrue or -1: Use parenthesis for negative numbers.

- vbFalse or 0: Do not display parenthesis.

- vbUseDefault or -2: Same as vbFalse. This is the default when omitted.

groupDigits: Optional. A vbTriState enumeration value specifying the number should be grouped (into thousands, etc.), using the group delimiter that is specified on the system's regional settings.

- vbTrue or -1: Group digits.

- vbFalse or 0: Do not group digits.

- vbUseDefault or -2: Same as vbFalse. This is the default when omitted.
