Putting Formulas in the Alert Description

I have a Performance threshold rule I am setting up. I want to be able to have the Alert description field have a calculated field in it.

For example: A counter value is recorded as bytes. I want the alert to show what percentage that counter is of a total. My total is a static number, so I want my alert to be something like:

$Value$/12500000

How can I do this?

The only way to do this would be in script.

Create your PPR to process the threshold. Don't have this PPR generate an alert.
Have it run a Script Response.
In your script you do the math you need to do, then generate an alert in script (ScriptContext.CreateAlert)
Set the Alert Name or description to waht you want.
Create an APR to catch this alert and notify you.
