Hello,
I wanted to get a percent of these two columns for a third column:
sum(decode(dol.leak_origin_type, 'Customer Reported', '1', '0')),
sum(decode(dol.priority, 'Prospect Emergency', '1', '0')),


can anyone help
Thanks

Percent is 100*value/total

Its working except for when its supposed to be 100% it just says "1". How can I fix that?

Thanks

There's the TO_CHAR function available, which would enable you to properly format calculated value. For example:
SQL> select comm, sal, comm/sal*100, TO_CHAR(comm/sal*100, '990.00') formatted
  2  from emp where ename = 'FORD';

      COMM        SAL COMM/SAL*100 FORMATT
---------- ---------- ------------ -------
       300       3000           10   10.00
