Round function

Hello, I have a beast mode that calculates a % and I need it to round to 2 decimals.

I'm using the round function as described in the documentation:

 

CONCAT(ROUND(1-(COUNT(DISTINCT `nc_list`) / COUNT(DISTINCT `lot_number`)),2)*100, '%')

 

However, the result is being rounded to the whole number

I need it to, using the example above, display  97.91 instead of 98

What am I missing in my beast mode?

    You may not even need to round using a beast mode calculation. It seems like you are using a textbox chart, however for have you tried using the single value chart? It is a similar chart, and if you look in Chart Properties>General>Decimal Places, you will be able to select how many decimal places you would like to show.

    Hi @MartinB 

    The display options for the field can handle all of this for you.

     

    You can change your beast mode to be:

     

    1-(COUNT(DISTINCT `nc_list`) / COUNT(DISTINCT `lot_number`))

     

     

    Then click on the Beast mode atop your chart to open the menu and select Data Format > Display as and select Percentage with 2 decimal places. You can then also tell it to multiply by 100.

    I know i'm late to the party, but @MartinB  it's just basic math.

     

    CONCAT(ROUND(1-(COUNT(DISTINCT `nc_list`) / COUNT(DISTINCT `lot_number`)),2)*100, '%')

     

    If you have 1/3 ( = .33333333) and you wrap that in round( 2) you'd get .33 so when you multiply by 100 you'd get 33.

     

    if you wanted 33.33 then you do round(4).

    Thanks @GrantSmith and @user096693 I'll try both approaches ?‍?

    @GrantSmith I tried your approach, however the details you explain apply only to the Optional Value

    Silly me, this formula made the difference. Thanks @jaeW_at_Onyx 

     

    CONCAT(ROUND(1-(COUNT(DISTINCT `nc_list`) / COUNT(DISTINCT `lot_number`)),4), '%')

     

    Still, had some trouble when adding strings either at the beginning or the end of the formula pasted above...until this I hit jackpot:

     

    CONCAT('Quality ', CONCAT(ROUND(100*1-(COUNT(DISTINCT `nc_list`) / COUNT(DISTINCT `lot_number`)),2), '% FPY'))

    Thanks to all, this is the solution I was looking for.
