Issue with simple validation rule

Question

Hi All,
Environment: HP app which is EPMA deployed
Version: 11.1.2.1
I have a strange issue writing a validation rule through calc mgr.
scenario: We are performing allocations over entity dimension based on %ages entered on a specific account member say 'Input%age' on total to be allocated value. For example: consider a parent entity P with 4 children as mentioned below.
P         (parent) (Type: Dynamic)
--A         (child) (Type: Store)
--B         (child) (Type: Store)
--C         (child) (Type: Store)
--D         (child) (Type: Store)
Need: The allocation should happen only when the sum of  %ages on each of the child roll up to 1 for their respective parent. Else allocation should not happen and message should be displayed to users.
The current snippet:
FIX(@Relative("P'',0))
"AllocValue"
IF('P"->'Input%age' == 1)
     'Allocvalue" = 'Input%age' * "TotalEntityValue";
ENDIF
ENFIX
Issue:
1. The script never works correctly even if the sum of %ages for all child is 1. I have tried making '1.0', '1.00' ,'100','100.00' etc but it didn't work. (Note: If user enters 0.2 as %age, the web-form shows it as 20%)
2. In case the sum of %ages is not equal to 1, allocation happens only for last child D.
3. If %age condition is removed, allocation happens as expected.
Any input or suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Perform the following check:
1. during the time of calculation the "Input%age" is one (i mean aggregated).
2. Is  your condition is valid. I mean if you have missed "BegBalance" or any valid combination.
     Best way is to try excel retrieve and match the combination with the if condition
