To avoid getting an integer result you need to introduce a non-integer.
You could use:
eq=Percent
Just wondering if anyone has a better way to work out percentage values.
Currently I'm having to append text to the number then use value
it works but seems kinda kludgy.
something like this:
PercentAddition=2
eq=value(PercentAddition)
if value(PercentAddition)<100 then eq=value("0."& PercentAd
