Simple percentage calculation

Hello,
i am new to Numbers...i need to do something i think is very simple, but still can't figure out how to...
Basically i need to have a calculation of percentage.
Say in cell B2 i have a certain value, i would like to have cell C2 that calculate B2 value + the 20% of B2 value.
Would it be possible? Which formula should i use?
Or would i need to set C2 only as percentage value (20%), then set a SUM (B2+C2) formula in D2?
I've actually already tried all this, but i must make some formula editing errors...
Appreciate your help.
Max

Either if these will do the job:
=B+B*0.2
=B*1.2
"20 percent" is just a 'fancy' way of saying "20/100", and "20/100" expressed as a decimal is "0.20"
=B+B*20%
This will also work, but you will need to set the cell's format to display the result as a number. Set to Automatic, the cell will choose Percent to display the result.

Percentage calculation error?

Hi guys,
I must be missing something very basic - I can't get a simple percentage calculation to work in an applet:
float percentage = 0;
int amount,total;
amount = 4;
total = 10;
percentage = (float)((amount / total) * 100);
Instead of returning 40.0 in "percentage", this keeps returning 0.0...
What am I doing wrong? How do you calculate a percentage in Java?
Thanks!

do the type casting of either of total or amount

Percentage Calculation in 11g Upgrade

upgradin to 11g issue in % cal
The issue is as follows
In 11g I'm calculating "ESS Rate" percenatge which is derived as below:
ESS Rate=(ESS count/count)*100
have casted ESS count as double and also "Count" as Int. Both the columns aggregate rule defined in the column formula is "sum"
Edited by: 982333 on Jan 16, 2013 3:12 PM

For more info on the columns values defined in column formula:
ESS Rate =100*CAST(sum(CASE WHEN "Pr Audit Setup Tax Fed Fact"."Audit Oprid Nm"="- Identity".Name THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS double)/CAST(count(IFNULL("Pr Audit Setup Tax Fed Fact"."Audit Oprid Nm", 'NA')) AS int)
Result obtained:
ESS RATE| ESS Count | Count
86.46% | 121 | 135
while a simple calculation using calculator would clearly give you (121/135)*100= 89.63% and not 86.46%
Can some one please help me in resolving this issue i do not see an reason for the wrong calculation of "ESS Rate" Percentage calculation.

Percentage calculation based on subtotal in webi 4.0

Hi Experts ,
How do i calculate the % column in webi 4.0 so that % would be calculated by the amount of Primary channel / Subtotal ) in one block.
=[Amount Of promary Channel]/Sum([Amount Of promary Channel]) In Block - not giving correct output.
Thanks,
Rajib

Hi Rajib, As per my understanding, you want to show percentage on the base of subtotal.
that means if you set break on the Compony then percentage column should contain the percentage calculated on the basis of compony subtotal.
like this...(just one block of break)
then just use the simple percentage function ( =percentage(amount) ), this will automatically calculate the percentage based on subtotal.
and if you want to show 100% in subtotal row also then you can use formula= (amount/sum(amount)),
i think we dont need to use contex operator here.
formula for AHW total row = amount/sum(amount)
Let me know if this will help you,
Thanks,

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?

Oaky, at least we got that far. Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers. Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number. Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
Here are some that will remain as strings:
+123
123 with a space after it.

Percentage calculation on query designer (7.0)

Hi experts,
I´m new on Query designer (7.0) and I´m trying to do a finnancial report, so for the lines I create and structure using G/L accounts and in the columns I got the amount for each level in my structure for a month. Now I´m trying to create an Integration percentage, it specifies how high the percentage in a level is in relation to next higher level but so far I couldn't make it...
My report must seem like this:
Structure.............................Amount ...... Int %
1. Assets................................1000 ....... 100%
1.1 Current assets.................... 600 ....... 60%    -> (600/1000)*100
- Cash............................. 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
- Inventories..................... 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
1.2 Long-term assets................ 400 ....... 40%    -> (400/1000)*100
- Property, plant and eq..... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Investment property......... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Intangible assets..............100 ....... 25%    -> (100/400)*100
I try to use each Percentage calculation options (%, %A, %CT,%GT, %RT) but it didn't work. Can anyone help me in creating a formula to get this percentage?
Thanks

Percentage Calculation for result rows

Hi
I have problem with percentage calculation on result rows. I have 2 KFs A and B, the result is calulated by setting 'calculate result rows as' to 'summation'.
But in KF 'C' (which is calculated as A/B*100 ),
Now the probles is the systen picks up original values of A and B for calculation of C in result rows.
i.e. system picks up values of result rows for A and B for
setting 'calculate result rows as' to 'nothing defined'.
Any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks

Percentage calculation according a result

Hi,
I have an issue with a percentage calculation in a query.
As rows I have Product Hierarchy 1, Product Hierarchy 2 and Material. I would like to show the sales for each material as a percentage of the result by Product Hierarchy 2 and in another colunm the percentage according the result by Product Hierarchy 1. I have used the option "Normalized according to the next level.." and it works to calculate the percentage according Product Hierarchy 2, but how can i manage to calculate the percentage according to Product Hierarchy 1( it is not the next level of the hierarchy, it would be the second next level)?
Thanks in advance.

Crystal report 2011 percentage calculation(Urgent)

All,
I am working on a report which looks like the below.
product>>>>>>> revenue>>>>>>>>> growth percentage
a >>>>>>>>>>>     12 >>>>>> >>>>               48%
b >>>>>>> >>>>>>>13 >>>>>>>>                  52%
c >>>>>>>>>>>>>   14 >>>>>>>>>
d>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 16>>>>>>>>>>>>
total         >>>>>>>   25 >>>>>                          100%
my requirement is to calculate the individual growth percentage of a and b with the total revenue of a and b only.
to be more specific 12 divided by 25 and then 13 divided by 25.
i want these growth percentages in growth percentage column in my report.
I achieved the selective summation of revenue for a and b in the report footer but i am not able to use the total revenue 25 (that i get in the report footer) in the body of the report(detail section) for growth percentage calculation.
I tried using shared variables and global variables but of no use.i am not able to assign the grand total in the footer to a variable in the detail section in order to calculate the growth percentage.
Is there any easy work around to achieve this? need urgent help.
I also tried running totals and stuff but of no use.
Any help would be appreciated.
Reji.
Edited by: reji2011 on Jan 22, 2012 7:32 PM

Hi Reji,
I'm not sure how you've added 'a' and 'b', however, whatever way it would be, I'm sure it would be a print time formula.
Meaning it is calculated a later stage after all the records are printed. So, you would never be able to use a value in the Report Footer or any Footer to calculate against a detail section value and show the calculation on the detail section itself.
The way I see it, you would need to insert this report as a sub-report, just to calculate a + b, store this value in 'shared variable' and use it for calculations in the Main Report.
So, in the sub-report, where you have your formula that calculates the addition of a and b, just create a shared variable and assign this value to it.
Place the sub-report on the Report Header and in the Main report create a formula that calls the shared variable. You can then use this formula/variable in Main-report's calculations.
Hope this helps!

Percentage Variance (%)
<Operand1> % <Operand2>
This gives the percentage variance between operand 1 and operand 2.
Percentage Share (%A)
<Operand1> %A <Operand2>
This gives the percentage share of operand 1 and operand 2. It is identical to formula 100 * <Operand1> / abs(<Operand2>) , if <Operand2> is not equal to 0 and the character for u201CDivision by 0u201D if <Operand2> is equal to 0.

Percentage Variance (%)
<Operand1> % <Operand2>
This gives the percentage variance between operand 1 and operand 2. It is identical to:

Percentage Share of Query Result (%RT)
%RT <Operand>
This is the same as %GT.
Unlike the process for calculating the overall result, dynamic filters are not used in the calculation of the query result. This means that the calculation always normalizes to the same value, irrespective of the filter status and the navigational state.

How do I make basic percentage calculation in forms?

I have a simple calculation I need to perform
Quantity Passed divided by quantity failed = percentage failure.
Thank you.

What are the exact names of the fields involved in the calculation? Are the passed/failed values already being calculated or do you need to do that as well? If it's possible that the quantity failed amount can ever be zero/blank, you will have to use JavaScript.
