Howdy!
So, I am back with a question regarding custom reports. I asked a question similar to this in another thread, but I feel like it would get too confusing to parse that out and rehash it again.
Question
Custom Report > Source > Course Participants > Grade
Why can't I see this as a percentage of the total grade?
My Assumed Short Answer
Because it wasn't designed that way. It just displays the points.
My... Rebuttal
But why? The grader report can show the grade in twelve (12) different ways, but this can't? Moodle has the capability to show the grade as a percentage, a letter, real, and then different combinations of such, but for this it wasn't foreseen that the same capability for the grader report would be wanted or handy for the custom report?
I read on some stack overflow that if you change the column aggregation to "Average" that it will display as a percentage. It doesn't. So what we resorted to was creating an excel template. We copy and paste the .csv data into our template and through some simple calculations, we get the percentage.
Is there anything I am missing about being able to display a percentage? I believe being able to see this as a percentage would be absolutely amazing and totally eliminate the need for a lot of extra plugins. It feels like with some code movement, it would be very much possible. Early Christmas present for the next release? Please.

The grader report I mentioned.
Below you will see that the custom report builder can display percentages as seen by the "Course Progress" column, but it can't do percentagese for the grade?
