Formula result in %

I

Ignbell

Hi, i need a formula that shows me the result in % but i don´t know how to do
it. my formula is:
([Trabalho]-[Trabalho do Plano Base])/[Trabalho do Plano Base]

Trabalho means Work

Thanks!

Hi,

Multiply by 100
If you need the % sign you have to do that in a Text field, convert to text
and concatenate % behind

Work - Baseline Work = Work Variance

Therefore, put the following formula in a Number field:

[Work Variance]/[Baseline Work]

This will reveal your % of Work that is over or under its original Baseline
budget. For example, I baselined a task at 40 hours of Work (Baseline Work
= 40h). Currently, the Work = 48 hours. Therefore:

Work Variance = Work - Baseline Work
Work Variance = 48 - 40
Work Variance = 8
% Over Budget = 8/40 = .20

You will see the .20 in the Number field. If you want the percent sign to
show up in the result, then you need to use the following formula in a Text
field instead:

([Work Variance]/[Baseline Work] * 100) & "%"

Hope this helps.

Dave, thanks for your help
With the formula i receive the result in % but i receive a 2.2222222222E-02%
Is there a way that i can only get a round result, i mean 2% or -2%?

Thanks again for the faste response too!.

Dale, i found out that if i get the hole formula like this it does give me
int numbers.

EXample: Int (Formula) & "%"

Thanks Dale and Jan, Both answered correctly and really fast, i love this
forum!

Dale, sorry to boder you again, is there any reason why this formula doesn´t
work if i make it a Project text formula in PWA. Works perfectly as a task
text formula in PP.

Int ( ([Trabalho]-[Trabalho do Plano Base])/[Trabalho do Plano Base] ) & "%"

Thanks, nacio.

Open a project, press the F9 function key to recalculate the project, and
then save it and publish it. That should resolve the problem. Hope this
helps.

My problem is that the Proyect custom field with the formula shows an error
message in Projecto Professional. If i create a local Custom Feld with the
same formula works fine. if i press f9 and republish it it wont change cause
the project custom field will keep on giving me an error message.
Thanks

If you don't baseline the project, it will always trigger an error. Is the
project baselined?

Thanks again, i know so much about project that i had to study what
a baselined project was :), Now the formula works fine!
