If you have used the MeasureCalculatePercentiles function to calculate percentile data for the load test results and then remerge the results using the remerge wizard, the percentile data will be lost for the remerged results. Remerging results removes the 'User Type' section of the Overview Report and results, which includes the percentile data.
