Hi a basic question, how do I get the value of a percent custom field, if I use the function I get "30%" as a string

`the function` is not descriptive enough to tell what you are doing

`var markup = paramsResults[0].getValue({name: 'custrecord_pse_markup'});` 

But when I log the markup value it returns "30%" so I cannot use it in math operations unless I convert it to number

preferably using <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4388837989.html|format.parse> if there are localization concerns

ok let me try that, i use
parseFloat(markup.slice(0,-1));
But I'll try with format.parse

localization concerns means you want your code to work when the user uses `,` instead of `.` as the decimal separator
