Concat percent sign (%) after a beast mode calculation. Syntax Error

Hi,
I created a BeastMode calculation to create a basic percentage value. However, when I try to enter the formula into a concat it give me syntax error.
Works:
count (`Have License`) / count (`Total Users`) * 100
Does Not Work
Concat ( count (`Have License`) / count (`Total Users`) * 100), `%`)

Give this a shot:
CONCAT( count(`Have License`) / count(`Total Users`) * 100, '%')
Might've been the % was enclosed in ` instead of '

Looks like you need to add a ( before your formula.
Try this
Concat ( (count (`Have License`) / count (`Total Users`) * 100), `%`)

Oh, that was just a typo. Sorry. The formula works, I just cannot get the "%" to concat to that formula

You were right! Thank you so much. Worked like a charm. I will have to look up when to use backquote vs regular single quote

You'll want to use the tilda (`) anytime you're encapsulating a columnname present in your dataset. You'll use the single quote (') when you are enclosing a string. In your case, you're adding a string '%' to the end of your calculation.
Hope that helps
