Can't help if you don't tell us what you want to do and what your
current expression is.

ok.. I have 3 fields regardings this. uncontrolable, controllable, and
percentage. I have to take the total of controllable and uncontrollable and
divde it by the controlable to get the percentage. This is to show the
percentage of Work orders that could of been saved.

If you want to calculate the result using the expression you posted, enter
the following in a new field in the query grid:
Percentage: ([Controllable]+[uncontrollable])/[Controllable]

On the other hand, if you wish to calculate the percentage which could have
been saved, enter the following:
Percentage: [Controllable]/([Controllable]+[uncontrollable])

HTH,
