I am trying to get something to work on a form i am building

  • 0

I am trying to get something to work on a form i am building for my job and it doesn’t seem to be working the way i expect it to.

I want to calculate the percent difference between the two fields ANL_CMA1_NUM_CLOSED_SALES and ANL_CMA2_NUM_CLOSED_SALES.

I thought my math was correct but i am only getting results in single digits, either positive or negative depending on the inputted values.

I am working on a form where i can customize permission level and rounding, and i am rounding this to the nearest hundredth. Can anyone help me with this one?

The original formula did not have the -100) * 100) portion at the end of it but also did not work properly.

FormSet.SetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CHG_NUM_CLOSED_SALES", 
(((FormSet.GetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CMA2_NUM_CLOSED_SALES") - 
FormSet.GetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CMA1_NUM_CLOSED_SALES")) /    
 FormSet.GetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CMA1_NUM_CLOSED_SALES")) -100) * 100)

    You may be using integer division (ie, 1/3 == 0) where you need floating-point division (ie 1./3 == 0.3333333).

    It may also be easier to understand if you break it up a bit –

    cma1 = FormSet.GetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CMA1_NUM_CLOSED_SALES")
cma2 = FormSet.GetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CMA2_NUM_CLOSED_SALES")
delta = float(cma2 - cma1) / cma1
FormSet.SetFieldValue(CurrentForm, "ANL_CHG_NUM_CLOSED_SALES", delta*100.0)
