RE: Problems with CFGRAPH accuracy
I've not run into this here, but have had similar problems with other (non-CF) programs in the past. At a guess, I'd say that CFGRAPH is truncating the average, but it is being rounded when you display it. I'd calculate the value and store it with the correct number of significant digits in a variable somewhere rather than rely on CFGRAPH to round/truncate it properly. The other alternative (assuming I'm right about the cause) is to truncate the value when you display it.

RE: Problems with CFGRAPH accuracy
Stupid question rebecca, but I gather when calculating an average, that average doesn't exactly trim to two decimal places does it? Perhaps there is a rounding issue? And if you include a subject, you'd probably get a better response btw... -Original Message- From: Rebecca _Becky_ Brewer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Problems with CFGRAPH accuracy Hi all, I'm having this fun problem with a CFGRAPH tag in CF 5 that's driving me a bit crazy this morning.
