Default conditional numeric formatting of field output on report

This helped, Thanks!
If I wanted the percent sign to show with 3 decimal places VS currency with
2 decimal places, how would I format that or would I use a combination of
field format and controlsource defined format functions?

You should be able to set a control source like:

I have a report that uses one area to display either a percentage or a count

I'd like to format the report field output so that if the value is less than
1 to format the number as a 2 decimal point percent and if it is 1 or greater
format it as an integer

the conditional formatting features I see deal with the conditional display
format and not the conditional numeric formatting

I've struggled to see if I could conditionally format the data at the
ControlSource point of the field properties or at the format point but have
hit deadends on both avenues
