Hi any idea why
aggregation based visualization metric percentage
is not multiplied by by 100 but divided by 100 ?

Percetage mode just shows a value divided by 100. To get valid percent, you have to set a value showing some ratio to the metric.

Hi Tomo M thank you for getting involved in my topic
Initially I used Lens but it didn't provide needed functionality so I switched
to this aggregation based visualization so I somehow expected similar behavior to percentage as it is there
Maybe in addition to Format pattern in Setting having Functions like multiply can be nice to have here

Oh, that's true.
Multiplied by 100 is natural but devided by 100 is strange for percent. Sorry.
I agree with you that should be devided by 100.
Is it a bug, then?

yes, in my opinion it is a bug,
as value is divided by 10,000 and % in format pattern does multiply by 100
so final value is multiplied by 100 a in your example
this is visible when you use just 0,0.[000] as the format without % sign

I suppose it's worth reporting at the repository.
