Data format in pivot table calculated item

Question

Hi All,
I've got a pivot table with a dimension on rows and a dimension on columns and a measure. I have a "new calculated item" based on the dimension on the columns which does the following: ( ($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100
I want this calculated item shown as a percentage like 1,2% but the measure must stay a whole number like 1234 (no decimal places or percentage symbols) any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Gilles

Hi Kishore,
It is not helpful, I mean, it doesn't solve my problem. But nice post!
What I have is the following:
--------C1------C2-----C3
R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|
R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
What I want is the following:
--------C1------C2-----C3---------calculated item
R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|--(($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100)
R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
the column results must remain in the same format, but the calculated item must be in the format %9.99 (to see the percentage change)
any other suggestions?
