How do you change the value format of an Alert?

Below is my Alert message preview.
The actual format on the card chart is in "Percentage" format.
By default, the "Current Alert Value" returns as decimal in the Alert Message.
How do I make the "Current Alert Value" in "Percentage" format?

Message Preview:

Alert Trigger: Performance is greater than or equal to 92%
It was empty, now it's 0.897623.

    The card probably isn't the value going to the alert. That would be the field in the dataset. If you set a field up to represent percentage in the dataset, it should show up as a percentage in the alert. You might even have to do it as a string representation in the dataset.
