Rounding for Percentages

DakkuOct 21 2013 — edited Oct 21 2013

Please advise someone. I have written the logic to calculate certain components in our application based on percentage. For example we take a percentage of Total Net Earnings. When I hard code the percentage in the logic the formula works to the precise number. So as step 2 i created a stat account where they can input the percentage in a specific account and then the calcualtion would be based of that account since our percentages change every month. When i did this the numbers are are off because the sstem does not see the percentage as the number I am entering but I beleive rounds it. The result is higher then what I want it to be. For example I entered 22.9 for the percentage. In the formula it used the exact amount but when I enter in HFM as a stat account it is not using it the way it is being entered. I assume it is rounding it but I don't want it to.

Can someone help how to tackle this issue

Thanks

Hi there,

Have you confirm that the NumDecimalPlaces of the stat account is not zero but it is more than 1? Only if you have a NumDecimalPlaces value, HFM will not round the number during the input.

Would this be in the metadata?

Hi again,

Yes, you should confirm that the stat account that you have created has as a NumDecimalPlaces attribute the value 1. Based on that you will be able to input data with one decimal.

Yes. You can have a look at the Account properties. Same place where you would see isCalculated, isConsolidated properties
