    kish27,
    Sorry but something doesn't quite make sense. You say you have a custom number column called Budget Cost, but number fields will always have a default value of zero. Are you sure you don't mean your Budget Cost field is a custom Text field?

    Project does have a Budget Cost field but it is only applicable to the Project Summary Task.

    Assuming your "Budget Cost" field is Text2, the following formula should give what you want:
    IIf([Text2]<>"",format([Text2]/186000*100,"#.00") & " %","")

    Hope this helps.
    John
