I have a script to get the Percentage calculation, but i have to put a space before the percentage symbol as required by french translation eg. (100 %). I could not find it in the forms properties. Is there a way to get it in the script?

if (this.getField("Total").value != "") {

event.value = (this.getField("YOU SAVE").value /

this.getField("Total"). value)

}

As the Format setting select Custom and then enter:

OK, that's not really related to the percentage symbol.

To do that change your calculation script to:

event.value = Math.round(this.getField("YOU SAVE").value / this.getField("Total"). value);

Your descriptions are very vague... How did you try it, exactly? Did you use a script? If so, post the code. If not, then how?

And what does "it would not let me do it" means? Was there an error message of some kind? If so, what did it say? etc.

OK, that's better (although you should not reply by email if contains your personal information).

This is happening because you're dividing by zero. To avoid it use this code as the custom calculation script:

var v1 = Number(this.getField("Margin7").valueAsString);

var v2 = Number(this.getField("Rev1").valueAsString);

if (v2==0) event.value = "";

else event.value = (v1/v2) * 100;

ALMOST worked!  It gave me (based on $80/$100) 8000%.  How do I modify to get to 80%?

Hi, I have applied this calculation with success. So thank you for that! Do you happen to know also what to fill in if I want to get the percentage increase (or decrease)? For example in my form I will have a total for 2018 and a total for 2019 - I want to get the difference between the two totals but in percentage. I have added the % sign just as text next to the box to avoid that formating trouble. When using the format above (event.value = Math.round((this.getField("YOU SAVE").value / this.getField("Total"). value)*100);) it does not calculate correctly. As you can see, I don't know anything myself about this kinds of calculations :-S

You need to divide the new value (2019) by the old one (2018), then multiply by 100.

I am probably missing something then. Because to me it looks like that is what I am doing: event.value = Math.round((this.getField("Omsetning 2019").value / this.getField("Omsetning 2018"). value)*100); 

 

As you see from my screenshots, if the value is the same it should be 0 % but with my formula it shows 100 %, and if the increase is for example 10, that should be 10 % increase in this example. What am I missing?

OK, so it needs to be ("Omsetning 2019" - "Omsetning 2018")/"Omsetning 2018"

 

Edit: Sorry, the denominator needs to be "Omsetning 2018"...

I am really sorry, I am trying to figure it out, but I don't understand how to put that in the total format. I just get an error: "SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list 1: på linje2" I am trying to correct the error, but I just don't get it. Can you write out the formula for me? Please 🙂
