Possible to filter a Dataview query using percentage values?

What I’m trying to do

I’m trying to create a Dataview query that shows only incomplete items, when the progress in each note is expressed as a percentage.

Things I have tried

I’ve tried using the Dataview filter “where progress < 100%” which Dataview doesn’t like.
I’ve also tried entering progress values between 0 and 1 and using the Dataview filter “where progress < 1”. This works, however I would prefer to express the progress values in percentage terms.

So, using 75% is essentially the same as a multiplication factor of 0.75, does that work in your context to use that?

Yes, that’s what I meant when I said that I’ve tried using values between 0 and 1. It does work using the Dataview filter “where progress < 1”, however I’d prefer to enter the progress values as “75%” rather than “0.75”.

That would require a change in how Dataview parses numbers, so you’d be better of raising a feature request on their github pages. I’m not sure how much work it would take, but there is not a lot of movement in further development of dataview currently.
