Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I'm trying to make a custom reading progress composite column which will calculate the percentage of a book read by taking manually entered information from the #pages_read and #total_pages custom columns. I know I'd need to divide #pages_read by #total_pages and then multiply by 100, but I'm really not very good with this coding stuff and can't seem to figure it out. If possible I'd also want the progress composite column to be blank at 0%.

I've tried search for this quite a bit already, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
