| Hi allI'm trying to peform a quick percentage calculation which should return a multi-decimal placed integer - but it doesn't, it returns a rounded figure. How can I overcome this.= (100 * (sum1)) / (sum2)eg (100*(332) / 1390 = 23 (should be 23.88) |

"it returns a rounded figure"that's because 100, sum1 & sum2 are integer. When integer divide by integer the result will be an integer.What nr did is specifying a number with decimal 100.0. So decimal multiply by decimal value will result in decimal value and hence the result of the final calculation will also be in decimal.

| If you use variables in place of values then you can simply multiply it by 1.0((1.0*@var1*(@sum1))/(@sum2)MadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
