What this error actually means
Labels and display symbols are not numeric data. Values such as “50%,” “.5 FTE,” or comma-formatted numbers reject even when a person understands them.

| Valid | 50 or 50.0 | Fifty percent in required numeric form. |
| Invalid | 50% | Percent sign is not submitted. |
