Calculated field for If/then statement

I recommend to add a check for avoiding division by zero errors, especially when this kind of formulas is introduced later on and you are having empty fields in records ;-)

ifElse(
or(equal($paid_amount,0),equal($paid_amount,"")),"0",
concat(toString(divide(multiply($paid_amount,100),$total_amount)), 2)))
)

Hi Penny Whitlock,

Can you clarify how you are tracking the staged payments and what module you are looking to display the highest paid percentage amount? Do you have a specific field tracking the percentage paid of a given payment or is that also a mathematical calculation you need to perform?

Good morning Penny,

You could just do the math in your formula. I assume you have the total_amount and paid_amount.

so your percentage paid = paid_amount * 100 / total_amount

To get the decimal:

divide(multiply($paid_amount,100),$total_amount)

you will likely want to round round that, for example to 2 decimals:

round(divide(multiply($paid_amount,100),$total_amount), 2)

To get it as a string field with the % sign, you can turn it into a string

toString(divide(multiply($paid_amount,100),$total_amount), 2))

and concatenate the % sign

concat(toString(divide(multiply($paid_amount,100),$total_amount)), 2)))

Test this because it's off the top of my head and I didn't verify the syntax 🙂
