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.

A Solution to rounding in Storyline – without using Javascript

Totally confused. I got this working yesterday on one course (screenshot where the results slide says 4.3). Did the same thing on another course (slide 1.45) and can't get it to work! It all looks the same to me but I keep getting two decimals. On a side note, has anyone else had issues when copying a result slide from one course to another? Seems to mess up the variables. I had to rebuild the second course's result screen from scratch (I could paste the objects, layers and triggers though). Help!

Is anyone able to troubleshoot the screenshots above?

Hi Natasha,

this trick won't work anymore. There are other non JS solutions. You wrote that it worked yesterday... maybe had result without decimals.

Hi Radoslaw... I'm confused how that works, that's just adding 1 or subtracting 1. Thanks for sharing, big help.

  Quite genius actually. It does add or subtract one, but does it while the condition is true. So in the add case, it adds one until the condition "rounded < original_score" is not true anymore. So in the case of 13.76, it keeps adding a whole number 14 times, to give you 14. If you change the "original_score" variable to any decimal number, you can see that value change.

    I am not a numbers person at all. What if 13.76 is not the original score? The score changes depending on quiz takers answers.

Since so many of us need this option to display scores as whole numbers, why hasn't Articulate responded?

I was able to use Mitch Hayashi's solution at the top of page 3 in Storyline 360. He provides a great screenshot there and it doesn't use Javascript or the multiply/divide option as offered on page 1 (which no longer works because 360 allows for infinite or near infinite decimal places now).

How about wanting to round a number that is not part of a quiz but just from a calculation of 2 variables? For instance, I have a variable that calculates to 4.67 and I'd like to round it to 4.7 without using JS in 360.

Thanks very much @Jennifer Barnett for posting the solution to change from %Results.scorePercent% to %Results.ScorePoints%. I just added an extra % to end of the string so the score can show as percent rather than points, and it worked perfectly and quickly! Now I can stop looking for a hidden textbox or state change or something that was causing the decimal point!

Hi,

I don't know if this will help anyone now but I posted a question about progress bars that work forwards and backwards here - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/progress-bar-that-works-forwards-and-backwards#reply-832703

I was using Radosław Kwasek very cool trick from this post to get my rounded percentage and then apply that to a slider. However as some have pointed out here it only works moving forwards. I tried adding a "Set Rounded to 0" trigger as the first trigger on my master slide but that didn't work.

Anyway the solution was simply to copy and paste that 'reset' trigger onto every slide. Now the slider progress bar and the percentage value update for each slide no matter what direction you go in!

Not sure why the trigger wasn't working on the master slide, possibly a bug? Anyway hope that can help someone else out!

Looks like the dividing trick doesn't work anymore ?

I've divided two times by the biggest number I can have and multiply it at the other end, and no rounding :(
