A Solution to rounding in Storyline – without using Javascript

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.

Thanks everyone! this is really cool and nice work around.

this will only work if your points add up yo 100, because you are no longer showing a percentage, points have to be integers

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!

Just a quick note to say thank and report success using this technique!! I wanted a rounded percentage, so divided by 10000000 then multiplied by the same number did the job.

Not sure of how to go about this, but I would suggest storing the actual score, and then customising the score display web page to do the number rounding job – doing this means you are not storing bogus data in your LMS database.

Owen, thanks very much. I was just playing around with this and literally stumbled upon the 10,000,000 number making it work. It really is quite a clever workaround and works beautifully. Thanks again to everyone.

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)

Let me start by saying math isn't my strong suit but I can't seem to get this to work properly with the standard variable Results.ScorePercent. For example my score is 42.85% as reported by the Results.ScorePercent variable. I created a new variable called NonRoundScore as S. Yu suggested and set it to equal Results.ScorePercent. I then set triggers to divide it by 100,000 and then multiply it by 10,000,000. But the result of my NonRoundScore variable = 4285%. What I want it to show is 43%. I'm guessing that it is the numbers that I'm multiplying and dividing by but I can't seem to discover what the right combination is to get me to my magic 43%.

Anyone out there who can lend a hand...?

Craig,

I haven't done much with the LMS side of Storyline, so I am not sure about passing the rounded score back to the LMS.  Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for you. 

I'm pretty new to Storyline - only one course produced so far but loving it - and I have been asked by my client if I can get the final score to always be a whole number. I used the trick above to create the variable 'RoundedScore' and it works great, but I don't know how I then get that variable to be the score passed back to the LMS when my 'submit score' button is clicked.

Is this possible?
