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.

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:

1. Set floorScore equal to 100 when the timeline starts
2. 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.

Thanks for this Terry! I've included a screenshot in case anyone needs a tip on how to execute this in the slide itself. 

Updated 5/14/15 to say: Whoops, my math was wrong on this one! Sorry about that! See other responses for the correct math.  

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

Nice Terry. Thanks for this I am going to add it to my arsenal of tricks.

Seriously cool, Terry! Thanks bunches for posting!

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...?
