Normal 0 false false false oNotPromoteQF /> EN-US X-NONE X-NONE I found a way to round numbers in Storyline without using Javascript. The challenge was to show whole percentage numbers from calculated decimal numbers (i.e. 33% for 1/3 and 67% for 2/3). Searching through the forums, all I could find was Javascript solutions and suggestions to submit a feature request. Not happy with either of these answers, I continued to play around. I found that Storyline only holds 7 digits past the decimal place, and the 7th digit is rounded. So to get a rounded decimal (percentage) as a whole number, divide by 100,000, and then multiply by 10,000,000. For example: 2 / 3 = 0.6666667 (rounded at the 7th position by Storyline) 0.6666667 / 100,000 = .000006666667 (which is rounded to 0.0000067) 0.0000067 * 10,000,000 = 67 Now we have our rounded 67% from 2/3 You should be able to apply this to any number you want to round. Divide and then multiply by a multiple of 10 that is large enough to push the number you want to round to the 7th position past the decimal (i.e. 13,567 / 10,000,000,000 * 10,000,000,000 = 14,000)

Thanks for the tip. I needed to have rounded off percentages for my project. This really should be an option that can be set in the quiz options. I posted a feature request. I am including a zipped up sample of the Articulate Storyline file here for others to see how this was set up. There is also a "Instructions" PDF file included with some screenshots of variables setup. My quiz here uses a number of question banks so the questions are randomized. To sum up what happens is per previous instructions by Terri and others I have created a few triggers that divide and then multiply the quiz results Percentage score by 10000000. It does this to push the score percentage past the Seven digits limit decimal place.

Since this does not work in Storyline 360, I found a very easy way to implement a floor flunction in Storyline 360 without using Javascript. EDIT: Corrected for edge cases and much simplified! Also attached an updated screenshot. Corrected Steps: Create one variable, floorScore, and initialize to 0 Results Slide triggers: Set floorScore equal to 100 when the timeline starts Subtract 1 from floorScore when floorScore changes if floorScore is greater than Results.ScorePercent And that is it! -------------------------------------------- Old (incorrect) version below. Edit 4/17/2019: I have removed the incorrect version to avoid confusion.

Divide by 10.000,000 and then multiply by the same. For those who want the math logic behind this answer, 42.85 / 10,000,000 = 0.0000043 in articulate (dividing by 10,000,000 moves the decimal place 7 places to the left and the 7th decimal position gets rounded) 0.0000043 * 10,000,000 = 43.0 (multiplying by 10,000,000 moves the decimal 7 places to the right resulting in a whole number)

I ran into a similar issue and I didn't want to spend the time to make this edit since I only had a 3 question quiz so I found a really good alternative! All I did was change the question scores from the defaulted 10pts (2 to 33pts and 1 to 34pts) and then changed the results display from %Results.ScorePercent% to %Results.ScorePoints%. That resulted in making the results rounded in less than a minute!

A colleague shared this very helpful tip that finally solved the issue for me! I created a Storyline number variable called RoundedScore, which I set equal to the Results.ScorePercent as the results slide timeline begins. Then I execute this Javascript: var player = GetPlayer();var score = player.GetVar("RoundedScore");player.SetVar("RoundedScore", Math.round(score)); Finally, I changed the "%Results'ScorePercent%%" text on the results slide to "%RoundedScore%%", and it works in Storyline 3! I hope this helps others who want to round the percentage in Storyline 3.

Hi Anna,

If you are getting 1% when you expect 0% my guess is that you are using "greater or equal to" instead of "greater than" when comparing your floorScore variable vs Storyline's Results.ScorePercent variable. If you post a project file with the triggers you are using I will take a look at it.

Hi Mitch,

Thank you so much for reaching out! I don't believe I had any triggers that were set to "greater or equal to."

I was able to navigate around the 1% by adding a trigger to set the floorScore equal to the value of the Results.Score.Percent if Results.ScorePercent was 0 (similar to the 100% trigger).

I attached all of my slide triggers. There shouldn't be any problem with adding this additional trigger, correct?

Thank you again.

Hi Anna,

The reason you are getting 1% instead of 0% is because you are using the first version I posted which does not work for 0% for many reasons. The new trigger you added that sets floorScore to Results.ScorePercent if Results.ScorePercent equals 0 will work to correct this in most cases.

However, I recommend you use the corrected and simplified version in the edit to my original post that uses only one variable and two triggers.

I have a similar issue, but I am not using a results slide. I am creating a conversion for Fahrenheit to Celsius and the math gives me a decimal. I have tried to incorporate the math above, but it still gives me the decimal. Does it only work on the results slide?

  I am having a similar problem as Terry. I am actually trying to show a percentage on a progress indicator and I need to strip off the 2 decimal places. I don't need to round it (but it would be handy), I just dont want a progress indicator showing x.xx%
  
  I have been right through this thread and tried the different solutions to no avail :(

    I finally had to use the Java solution and it works great…

    Hello! This is what I use to round - add a trigger to execute this Java.
    I usually have a variable that contains the answer, then I pass it to another variable, then run it though this script. NumberYearCalc is my answer that was passed. And RNDofNumberYearCalc is my new variable that the rounded number will be passed to.
    var player = GetPlayer();
    var JSRounded=Math.round(player.GetVar("NumberYearCalc"));
    player.SetVar("RNDofNumberYearCalc",JSRounded);
    
    Thank you,

When using the method of the Floorscore by Mitch will the LMS pick up that score as the resultscore? If not, the LMS will still show a non rounded grade right?

Reason im asking is, we have developed a course but it is not running in our own LMS. Every score with a decimal I.E. 66,78 is registered as 6678% instead of 66,78%.

Hi everyone,

I tried many suggestions but none worked for me. If understand correctly the newest version doesn't support dividing/ multiplying solution, but what about Javascript?

I tried 2 JS of here suggested but they didn't work, unfortunately.

Does the non-javascript solution still work? It doesn't seem to do anything for me. I have all the triggers in order but I'm wondering if there's a conflict with the "go to layer x" at the start of the timeline--ie is it jumping to the next layer before applying the changes to the variable.

  @Natasha, assuming all the triggers are in the correct order, have you tried setting the "show layer" trigger to execute at the 0.25 second mark of the timeline? If you can share a screen shot of your trigger panel, I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot it.

    Yes, I tried it. Same result. Sorry for the terrible quality...it's on my protected work computer so I can only take a photo of the screen.
