Hello, Ravi!
 
Thank you for reaching out to us.
 
Kindly note that the number formatting pop-up we provide as a part of the Toolbar is designed to show all existing measures. If you want some measures to be hidden in the dropdown, we suggest creating a custom number formatting pop-up instead of the built-in one.
 
The algorithm is the following:
 
1. Add a new tab to the Toolbar using the beforetoolbarcreated event.
Here is the JSFiddle example with adding a new tab: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/m7e74ay4/.
You can find more details about customizing the Toolbar in our docs: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/customizing-toolbar/.
 
2. (optional) Remove the existing 'Number formatting' tab from the submenu.
We have prepared the JSFiddle example for visualization: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/2nqLxfrk/.
 
3. Create your own pop-up for number formatting, where you can prefilter fields with percentages before displaying the drop-down.
You can look through the flexmonster/toolbar/flexmonster.toolbar.js file with our Toolbar source code for references. The main pop-up functionality for number formatting can be found in the FlexmonsterToolbar.prototype.showFormatCellsDialog function.
 
Hope you will find our answer helpful.
Feel free to ask if any further questions arise.
 
Regards,
Solomiia
